bertie I’m speaking at Cloud & Cyber Security Expo 2025!
12 March 2025 – AI vs. AI: Defending Systems from Intelligent Threats
13 March 2025 – Panel: How Strategic Practices Can Improve Incident Response and Strengthen Organisational Defences
Join me 12-13 March at Excel London – register for your FREE ticket today! #CCSE #CyberSecurityExpo
Future Proof 2025 tackled cutting-edge topics in AI and Industry 5.0, presented and analysed in a digestible and industry-relevant format, that highlighted a multitude of opportunities and build bridges between industry growth, academic research, and regulatory constraints.
It was a pleasure to be part of the panel on Industry 5.0—redefining manufacturing for the human-centric revolution, hosted by Charles Ross.
Just one week until AISB2025! Register today and join leading academics for the annual AISB interdisciplinary AI convention, this year at University of the West of England, 14-16 Jan.
We are delighted to announce Prof Ron Chrisley as keynote speaker alongside Prof Alan Winfield and Prof Owen Holland.
Full programme schedule now available below, together with online booking.
Looking forward to my first international travel since 2019.
Finally. After years and years of seeing AIs going rogue, we now have the pleasure of experiencing a “good AI” in a new film by Shawn Levy based on a story by Matt Lieberman and playing in cinemas right now. The AI I’m talking about is that of the NPC called Guy, a bank teller in Free City. He is good natured (if you can even say that of an AGI) and makes the virtual world he’s acting in a better place. I’m not going to review the film here, but cannot but express my joy at seeing an AI on the big screen doing good things.
Don’t get me wrong, this is far from a realistic portrayal of current AI capabilities. The film is not meant to educate about AI but to entertain. However, seeing something that uses AI for the “greater good” on the big screen is a first step to a more balanced public view of what this technology has to offer for society. It is clear that the onus is on the AI developer to use the technology responsibly … and I don’t want to even think about what it could have meant for the poor people of Free City if Antwan had had the technological skills to modify the AI for his purposes.
The Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and Simulation of Behaviour (AISB) will host it’s annual convention from 7-9 April. The daily schedule is now available to view and download: https://aisb20.wordpress.com/2021/02/13/schedule-2/

Using AI to accelerate the Cyber Security industry and the support the IMAI initiative can offer.
This event explored How COV-19 has impacted the Cybersecurity Industry, and questioned how AI has alleviated any of that impact – including a panel discussion with contributors from experts and innovation in this area.
Contributors include:
Dr (Berndt) Bertie Müller – Senior Lecturer in Computer Science at Swansea University
Dr Budgie Dhanda – Co-Chair at UK Cyber Security Council Formation Project
Kiran Bhagotra – Founder, ProtectBox
Prof. Pete Burnap – Professor of Data Science & Cybersecurity at Cardiff University
Rob Newby – Founder, Procordr
The Office for Artificial Intelligence hosted this Roundtable, providing a forum for questions and feedback towards policy.
I took part in a roundtable discussion on the future of AI moderated by Peter Dorrington (XMplify). The topics covered were:
The current state of AI in Customer Service
– The importance of empathy in customer service and the role of AI
– What the future holds for AI, and
– What we should be thinking about today, ahead of an AI-enabled tomorrow.
Joining me were:
– Dr Fatmah Boathman – Founder & Board President, Artificial Intelligence Society of Saudi Arabia
– Amanda Halpin – Solution Lead for Digital AI in Genesys
… and another virtual conference:
I do prefer to present to a live audience in-person, but once again this will be presented “from the comfort of my living room”.
My research interests include:
I am Chair of the Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and Simulation of Behaviour (AISB) and Wales Regional Co-Lead of the DEMON network for the application of data science and AI to dementia research. Furthermore, I am a member of the advisory board of the International Artificial Intelligence & Quantum Technology Foundation (INAIQT) and of the international journal Connection Science published by Taylor and Francis.
I organised an international workshop series on Logics, Agents, and Mobility (LAM):
Following four successful LAM workshops at Hamburg in 2008, Los Angeles in 2009, Edinburgh in 2010, Aachen in 2011, for the fifth edition LAM returned to Hamburg as a satellite workshop of Petri Nets 2012. The last of the series, LAM’13, was a by-invitation-only symposium.
