Liam Malone is nothing short of inspiring and truly knows how to WOW an audience. 

The retired blade-running Paralympian has followed his passion for technology and innovation to work with Auckland-based artifical intelligence (AI) firm Soul Machines, known for their cutting edge, world leading AI technology. 

From technology for shopping assistants to customer service agents, Soul Machines creates life-like digital humans for business to employ to humanise online self-service.

Liam is widely known as the world number one bladerunner - hitting the headlines when after less than three short years in the sport he broke the previous Paralympic records held by Oscar Pistorius. His story of hitting rock bottom while at University to turning it all around and receiving two golds and a silver medal at the 2016 Paralympic Games is nothing short of incredible. His times on the track make him New Zealand's second fastest 400m sprinter ever - legs or not!
