Chris Happ is one of the leading voices behind the BAIO movement and connected intelligence for business. He believes most companies are approaching AI the wrong way, deploying disconnected tools instead of rewiring their organizations around a centralized intelligence layer.

Under Chris’s leadership, VirtuousAI has pioneered BAIO to help companies move from fragmented AI experimentation to coordinated, system-wide intelligence.

Chris regularly speaks with CEOs and industry leaders about the future of connected intelligence, why most AI strategies fail to compound, and how mid-market companies can out-execute larger competitors with a BAIO. He is a frequent podcast guest and main stage speaker, sharing his POVs on being AI-first as an organization and how to scale by prioritizing strategic intelligence.

Rory Donovan founded VirtuousAI with the vision of creating a more explainable, connected, and operationally effective form of AI.

His work in neural networks, graph intelligence, and systems architecture became the foundation for BAIO, a new category of AI designed to coordinate intelligent action across businesses, similar to a human brain.

Rory leads platform innovation and the evolution of VirtuousAI’s connected intelligence infrastructure.
