Computer scientist Dr. Lorien Pratt is one of the pioneers of artificial intelligence and is credited with inventing transfer learning. Following a 35-year career delivering applied AI systems, along with leadership and program committee responsibilities at NeurIPS, Pratt is?recognized alongside Marie Curie and others by the Women Innovators and Inventors Project. Today, Pratt continues to push the boundaries of technology as a creator of and evangelist for Decision Intelligence (DI), the next phase of Artificial Intelligence.?Identified by Gartner as a top technology for 2022, the first book on DI was written by Pratt: Link: How Decision Intelligence connects Data, Actions, and Outcomes for a Better World. She also co-authored The Decision Intelligence Handbook (in press) with N. Malcolm. DI connects AI to human decision making in a way that is transparent, auditable, and accessible, bringing this important technology to the masses, and reducing "information inequality".

With appearances on CSPAN, NPR, and many keynotes and podcasts, Pratt's work in AI and DI has broad implications for "wicked", invisible, exponential, multi-link problems whose mitigation or solutions depend on better decisions by billions of people; these include climate, poverty, security, and more.
