About Simon Binnie


Simon is a Partner in the Boult Wade Tenant‘s AI group who has witnessed the AI revolution up-close, as inventors have embraced the power of AI/ML techniques.



His practice spans many application fields, from cryptography and telecoms, through bioinformatics and genetic genealogy, via scientific instruments and computer hardware – all linked by the ubiquity of AI/ML at the cutting-edge of innovation.



As a former computational physicist Simon is fascinated to be able to peek inside the ML models underpinning ML innovation (some of which borrow techniques from his former field) and grapple with the myriad legal issues ML innovation can encounter.
