GCSA is excited to announce that Vivienne Ming—a theoretical neuroscientist, entrepreneur, author, and mother of two—has been selected as the keynote speaker for the 2025 Georgia Charter Schools Conference! Vivienne will speak on Tuesday, March 11, at 11:15 a.m. She is frequently featured in The Financial Times, The Atlantic, and The New York Times for her groundbreaking research and inventions. Her AI innovations have launched a dozen companies and nonprofits focused on unlocking human potential in education, the workforce, and health.
A self-described “professional mad scientist,” Vivienne founded The Human Trust to tackle some of the world’s most pressing problems. She also travels the globe sharing the remarkable stories behind these projects. In her free time, Vivienne works to design AI systems to help treat her son’s diabetes, predict manic episodes in bipolar sufferers, and reunite orphan refugees with extended family members. She sits on the boards of numerous companies and nonprofits, including UC Berkeley’s Neurotech Collider Hub and RFK Human Rights. For relaxation, she writes science fiction and hikes with her wife and children.
