AI Company - Remote / UAE-wide
PINKFISH™ is an AI-and-music brand and IP platform working at the intersection of artificial intelligence and live performance. Founded by Edward Salmon (PINKFISH), it serves brands, governments, and the world's biggest events with AI keynotes, interactive workshops, sonic branding, and original music.
PINKFISH is one of the only people operating credibly on both sides of the AI-creativity divide: a Top 1% global recording artist with 10M+ streams, and a credentialled AI practitioner who graduated top of class with distinction (97%) from the University of Oxford's AI Programme and completed Oxford's Agentic and Generative AI Programme. He was among the first awarded the UAE Executive Director Golden Visa for contributions to AI, presented by HE Omar Sultan Al Olama, Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence.
What PINKFISH does
AI keynotes and talks that make artificial intelligence accessible, creating music and visuals live on stage with the audience rather than just talking about it
Interactive AI workshops for teams and leadership, used for upskilling and team-building
Sonic branding and original music production, including AI-native creative projects built as transparent thought-leadership case studies
Headline DJ and live performances at festivals, conferences, and brand activations

What makes it distinctive
Most AI speakers can't perform. Most artists can't speak credibly on AI. PINKFISH does both at the highest level, with the Oxford credentials and the Golden Visa to back it up, turning AI from an abstract topic into something an audience can see, hear, and feel in the room.
