Most conversations about artificial intelligence (AI) focus on what to expect in the near future. Ross Pambrun is looking 150 years out.
Pambrun, who is often referred to as Ross “Memphis” Pambrun, is Métis and the CEO of The Memphis Group, a machine-learning company focused on environmental monitoring. He is also a professional fire captain with 25 years of service to the City of Calgary, a keynote speaker with the Speakers Bureau of Canada, and the Calgary Herald’s 2026 “Most Compelling Calgarian.” He was among the most anticipated voices at the University of Regina’s AI Futures conference, held this past March and organized by the Dr. John Archer Library & Archives.
