About this event
We’ve been hearing it a lot in the news recently – Artificial Intelligence (AI) is here and is going to transform the way we live and work. But how?
Come and hear from our expert panel on the potential of AI to disrupt traditional business models and create entirely new ones, as well as looking at the possible risks AI poses and the notion of building ethics into machine intelligence. Can we build an AI smarter than ourselves, and if we can do we really want to?
Book a ticket to our August 24 lunch event where you will hear more about how Artificial Intelligence is challenging the human race.
