Founder’s Story

Published by BAIoT.org — October 2025

Dr. Howard Ku is a blend of technologist, strategist, and visionary. With over 35 years of experience in industrial automation, he has witnessed firsthand the evolution of technology — from analog systems to smart factories, and now to the dawn of intelligent, decentralized infrastructure.

Howard’s academic journey is as remarkable as his professional one. He holds a Doctor of Business Administration (DBA), an MBA, and two specialized master’s degrees — one in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, and another in Blockchain and Digital Currency (2026). His pursuit of excellence led him to the MIT Sloan School of Management, where he completed executive programs in Blockchain for Business and Startup Strategy.

Throughout his career, Howard has led transformative projects across industries, helping companies modernize their operations, optimize performance, and embrace innovation. But as he delved deeper into the convergence of AI, Blockchain, and IoT, he saw a gap — not just in technology, but in ethics, education, and accessibility.

He realized that while these technologies hold immense potential, their integration is often fragmented, misunderstood, or driven solely by profit. There was a need for a neutral, nonprofit platform that could guide this convergence responsibly — one that could educate, connect, and empower communities, researchers, and industries alike.

Thus, BAIoT.org was founded in October 2025.

BAIoT.org is more than an organization — it’s a mission-driven movement. Its goal is to promote the ethical and impactful blending of Blockchain, AI, and IoT to solve real-world problems, foster sustainable development, and build intelligent infrastructure for the future.

Innovative and impactful.
