Key themes 2025

Technology

AI encompasses a complex set of technologies. Machine learning, Natural Language Processing, Deep Learning, Cognitive Computing, Robotics and more. Learn how they are coming together to create the tools that will revamp industries and societies. How will data hungry models continue to be fed in a way that aligns with values around privacy and fairness?

 

Society

Is society ready for the impact of AI? What will be the depth and speed of change and how do we prepare for the changes that lay ahead? Separate the hype from the reality and join a critical set of conversations.

 

Industry

There are few industries that will not be impacted by the growth and expansion of AI use cases. From financial services to the shop floor, learn about the latest innovations and implementing them in the workplace. Hear from those who are preparing their organisations and employees for change.

 

Regulation

Economies across the world are grappling with the changes that AI will impose. Explore some of the evolving frameworks and engage in critical discussions about what ‘good’ regulation looks like and what it should aim to achieve. What types of guardrails are needed to build trust in the emerging technologies and protect privacy and security?

 

The future

Will AI drive the next industrial revolution? Given the heady pace of development over the past year, are industries making informed choices about how to best use AI tools? How do we ensure that people develop the skills necessary to succeed in a world where the future of work will look very different. With fake content on the rise, experts explore how to separate truth from the manufactured.

 

Ethics & responsibility

When it comes to the ethical questions around AI, the issues are both complex and critical. How can AI be harnessed to deliver positive innovations whilst ensuring outcomes that are fair and equitable? Can systems be developed that ensure transparency and accountability?
