Jason Bradbury's Biography

Jason Bradbury is one of Britain’s most recognisable technology broadcasters, celebrated for leading Channel 5’s The Gadget Show from 2004 to 2016 and now co-hosting its hit podcast with long-time colleague Suzi Perry. Across more than two decades and hundreds of programmes as presenter and producer, he has demystified emerging tech for global audiences with an infectious blend of authority and showmanship.

A self-taught engineer licensed by the UK Home Office to build transmitters, Jason has amassed nine Guinness World Records for audacious inventions, including the world’s first jet-powered hoverboard and the fastest human-powered vehicle. A qualified private pilot, he brings hands-on credibility to discussions of aerospace, robotics and next-generation mobility. His best-selling Dot Robot novels, now classroom staples, weave STEM principles into page-turning adventure and inspire young innovators worldwide.

Before television, Jason honed razor-sharp comic timing in a double act with David Walliams—skills that now supercharge his live demonstrations and on-stage rapport. Corporations from aerospace to consumer finance engage him to translate AI, quantum and immersive tech into strategic opportunity and to ignite a culture of experimentation. Audiences leave armed with practical insights and the conviction to prototype the future rather than merely predict it.

Whether briefing C-suites on disruptive risk or motivating students to code their first robot, Jason connects innovation with possibility. His high-octane sessions combine vivid storytelling, live demos and forward-looking analysis that electrify and empower in equal measure.

The AI Advantage

The AI Advantage positions 2026 as a pivotal year for AI. Rather than focusing on hype or fear, the talk equips audiences with a clear way to understand how AI actually works, where it is heading, and how it will impact their industry - without information overload or technical jargon.

At the heart of the keynote is Jason’s “6 Degrees of AI” - a simple, memorable framework that demystifies artificial intelligence and gives audiences a reusable tool for evaluating future technologies. This approach allows attendees to think critically about AI beyond headlines and buzzwords, and to leave with practical insight they can immediately apply.

Topics include:

Jason’s 6 Degrees of AI framework
Clear, human explanations of machine learning, large language models and computer vision
An interactive test of AI’s impact across different industries
The future of work in an AI - driven economy
Ethical considerations surrounding intelligent systems
Real-world examples from sectors including energy, healthcare, retail and entertainment
