Daniel Erasmus, head of Erasmus.AI and the ClimateGPT Foundation, has two decades of experience in collecting and processing planetary scale datasets. He leads the team developing ClimateGTP's foundational and fine-tuned model family, which is the world’s first foundational AI model family focussed on effects of Climate Change on Human Systems
Daniel is also Head of AI for Internet Archive Europe, releasing several public purpose models via Hugging Face. He is a member of the OECD AI Expert Group, and a Full Member of the global think tank, the Club of Rome.
For 25 years, Erasmus worked with governments and Fortune 50 companies by leading global foresight research as co-founder of The Digital Thinking Network. The DTN led scenario and innovation breakthrough processes anticipating the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, Oil Price Collapse, and it created the first Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).
Additionally as a response to Covid, Daniel was instrumental in creating an initiative that has sponsored 100 million meals in Southern Africa.
