Peter Scott is a futurist, coach and technology expert helping people master technological disruption. After receiving a master’s degree in computer science from Cambridge University, he moved to California to work for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, starting in the navigation section, which maneuvers spacecraft to targets a billion miles away. 

Peter raises awareness about artificial intelligence. He has appeared on radio and television, taught university courses and made numerous appearances to diverse audiences in several countries. In February 2020 he spoke before an all-party parliamentary group on the future of A.I. in Britain’s House of Lords, and delivered a TEDx talk to a thousand people in Surrey, B.C. His 2023 TEDx talk, "Does A.I. Need to Feel" was delivered at Royal Roads University.

Peter founded the Centre for A.I. in Canadian Learning, helping schools adjust their teaching methods, curricula and communications to prepare students for the A.I. world. In July 2022 Peter’s second book was released: Artificial Intelligence and You: What A.I. Means for Your Life, Your Work, and Your World. His popular podcast (also called Artificial Intelligence and You) has over 300 episodes, and explores three questions every week with an influential guest: What is A.I.? Why will it affect you? How do you and your business survive and thrive through the A.I. revolution?

He lives on Vancouver Island with his wife and two daughters.
