John Gibbs, Ph.D.

Dr. John Gibbs is an artificial intelligence executive, entrepreneur, educator, and technology strategist whose career has been dedicated to helping organizations understand, adopt, and capitalize on technological change.

Over the past three decades, he has worked at the intersection of emerging technology, creative practice, higher education, and business innovation. As CEO and co-founder of Artimatic Technologies, he has led the development of machine-learning systems that automate complex creative and production workflows, secured National Science Foundation funding, and guided the commercialization of AI-driven technologies. As a professor at the University of Georgia and Faculty Fellow in the Institute for Artificial Intelligence, he has helped students, researchers, and institutional leaders understand and adapt to rapidly advancing AI capabilities.

A defining feature of Dr. Gibbs' work is his ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear strategic understanding for decision-makers. Throughout his career he has operated between communities that often struggle to communicate with one another: engineers and executives, researchers and practitioners, technologists and artists, innovators and the public. This ability to bridge technical, organizational, and cultural perspectives allows him to help leaders move beyond understanding technology itself toward understanding its implications for strategy, operations, workforce development, and competitive advantage.

Dr. Gibbs' expertise spans artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, autonomy, digital production, simulated worlds, content creation, and technology commercialization. He holds degrees from Princeton University, The Ohio State University, and the University of Georgia, including a Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence. He is the inventor of a patent involving machine-learning-assisted automation for digital production workflows, and was named the University of Georgia Entrepreneur of the Year in 2024.

Dr. Gibbs is also the creator and host of Dr. Know-it-all, one of the largest independent technology analysis channels focused on artificial intelligence, robotics, autonomy, and emerging technologies. Through his media platforms, speaking engagements, consulting work, and executive advisory activities, he helps leaders understand the broader implications of technological change and make informed decisions in environments characterized by rapid innovation and uncertainty.

Organizations engage Dr. Gibbs when they need more than technical expertise alone. They seek a leader who can connect technology to strategy, innovation to execution, and complex ideas to practical action.
