With over a decade of experience, Dr. Khoze possesses a unique blend of skills in managing, designing, and implementing advanced technologies across multiple disciplines-including robotics, AI, engineering, embedded systems, medical science, computer science, and entertainment. He excels in designing large-scale, complex systems and deploying cutting-edge AI and machine learning technologies.

His journey began in film production and transitioned into AI and humanoid robotics, where he has made significant strides and gained worldwide recognition. Dr. Khoze has collaborated with prominent figures and organizations such as Dr. Firouz Naderi, director of Solar System Exploration at NASA/JPL; Professor Hiroshi Ishiguro at Osaka University; and the Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute (ATR). He developed and designed one of the most intelligent social robot series, showcased at CES Las Vegas 2023.

Dr. Khoze has also represented and managed some of the world's most advanced and intelligent robots, including Erica, developed by Ishiguro Lab, Kyoto University, and ATR, and Alter, developed by Osaka University's Ishiguro Lab and the University of Tokyo's artificial life researcher Takashi Ikegami. He achieved the distinction of being the first to cast and train Hollywood's first fully autonomous artificially intelligent entity in a motion picture, as featured by The New York Times.

He is a passionate advocate for a sustainable, ethical, democratized, and human-centered collective intelligence approach, sharing his insights through lectures at universities, conferences, and technology events to inspire society to embrace the transformative potential of AI.
