Qlik’s aim is to influence the way organizations around the world use AI, helping them do so ethically by ensuring they build it on a foundation of clean, trusted and governed data that will prevent biased applications.

To help us achieve this goal, we have established a dedicated AI Council made up of some of the most renowned AI experts from around the world.

By convening this distinguished set of advisors, we will benefit from their expertise, helping customers access deeper, actionable insights from their data and drive the ethical and responsible use of AI across their own organizations.
