Marek Kowalkiewicz (born 21 July 1978) is a Professor and Chair in Digital Economy at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) where he focuses on artificial intelligence (AI) and digital transformation strategies for government and industry.[1] He performs all of his research in 30-day "research innovation sprints", a concept he pioneered at QUT in 2015.[2] Kowalkiewicz's research sprints are designed to create and accelerate industry-focused research outcomes by combining the commercial philosophy of Google's five-day design sprint with the rigour of academic research.[3]
Kowalkiewicz joined QUT from Silicon Valley where he led global innovation teams for SAP. He was a Research Manager at SAP's Machine Learning Lab in Singapore,[4] Global Research Program Lead at SAP Research Australia, and a Research Fellow at Microsoft Research Asia.
In December 2023, he was named one of the Top 10 Global Thought Leaders in Artificial Intelligence by Thinkers360[5] and one of Thinkers360's Top Voices 2023.[6] His book, The Economy of Algorithms: Rise of the Digital Minions, was published on 5 March 2024.[7]
