Building on the success of last year, techUK’s Tech and Innovation programme are excited to return to London Tech Week with a new series of techUK Talks, a series of conversations with UK tech leaders exploring the key digital technologies that are transformational for the UK economy. #techUKtalks
This event is an opportunity to take stock and assess progress made towards ensuring the UK remains a global leader in AI. So far this year we’ve seen the UK Government commit to publishing a National AI strategy and businesses have continued to invest into the UK, for example the recent launch of NVIDIA’s Cambridge-1 supercomputer. The pandemic has also undoubtedly accelerated many businesses’ digital transformation journeys and heightened people’s awareness around the importance of data. Focusing on the UK’s capacity to develop and deploy AI, the panel will assess where the gaps still remain and question how we get more organisations to "embrace" AI technology. Panellists will evaluate the UK’s approach against its international counterparts and determine what decisive actions need to happen now to ensure the UK continues to reap the benefits of AI in the next 5 years and beyond.
Speakers Include:
-
Sana Khareghani, Head of UK Government's Office for AI
-
David Hogan, Vice President Enterprise EMEA, NVIDIA
-
Rosemary Sinclair Dokos, VP, Product & Programme Management, Oxford Nanopore
-
Matthew Bell, Director and Joint-Head of Public Policy, Frontier Economics
