The advisory and governance layer of the AIX programme.

The AIX Council exists because the quality of evaluation depends on the quality of the people guiding it. The Council provides independent oversight — ensuring the standards by which AI-led customer experience is assessed remain credible, rigorous and free from commercial influence.

The Council

An advisory body of invited specialists — academics, practitioners and sector experts — providing independent guidance on evaluation standards, case-study credibility and the intellectual agenda of the AIX programme.

AIX Awards

The annual recognition cycle through which independently verified AI-CX outcomes are honoured. Candidates are identified through AIX Research. Council advisors guide the standards by which evaluation is conducted.

AIX Summit

The annual one-day forum at which the year's most significant AI-CX case studies are presented. Council advisors contribute to the Summit as discussion leaders and framing speakers.

Independent guidance.
Not commercial influence.

Council advisors are invited based on expertise and independence. They do not represent organisations with a financial stake in the programme's outcomes. Their role is to guide, challenge and strengthen the quality of evaluation.

Advisory council status

The AIX Council is currently under formation. Advisors are being identified and approached. Names and institutional affiliations will be published on this page once invitations have been accepted and confirmed.

01
Evaluation standards

Contribute to the principles and criteria by which AI-led customer experience deployments are assessed — ensuring rigour, consistency and independence across all categories.

02
Case-study credibility

Review the evidence quality of submitted deployments. Provide guidance on what constitutes verifiable, benchmark-worthy AI-CX outcomes that go beyond marketing claims.

03
Summit contribution

Participate in the AIX Summit as discussion contributors and framing speakers — providing the intellectual anchor for the annual live forum alongside award winners' case studies.

04
Research priorities

Help shape the questions that AIX Research pursues — identifying the developments in AI-led customer experience that deserve sustained, structured attention.

The profiles we are approaching.

The Council will include a small number of invited specialists across four profiles. Advisors are approached directly — there is no open application process.

Note

Advisor names and institutional affiliations will be listed on this page once invitations have been accepted. We do not publish names in advance of confirmation.

Academic researchers

Professors and researchers with substantive work in AI, customer experience, consumer behaviour, service design, responsible AI or related disciplines. Independence is the primary criterion — not institutional prestige.

Senior practitioners

Executives and professionals with direct experience of deploying AI at the customer interface — in industry, not in technology sales or vendor roles. Operational credibility matters more than seniority of title.

Policy and regulatory specialists

Professionals with expertise in AI governance, consumer protection, responsible AI frameworks or sector-specific regulation. Their perspective ensures evaluation standards anticipate the direction of regulatory expectations.

Authors and analysts

Individuals with a published or practitioner track record in AI and customer experience — book authors, research analysts or writers who bring structured thinking to emerging practice.

Independent jury review

Submissions are evaluated by an independent process on verified impact, deployment quality and real-world scale — not on marketing narrative or presentation quality.

Council advisory oversight

AIX Council advisors provide structural guidance on the evaluation standards and the principles by which recognition is framed. Their role is oversight — not commercial judgement.

AIX recognition is independently assessed, permanently documented and commercially usable. It is not a trophy — it is a verified record.
