How can we use AI to innovate for human benefit?

The next in our series of workshops to consider the human impact of questions raised by the adoption of AI. Our workshops are intentionally cross-sectoral and interdisciplinary, bringing together the 'thinkers' with the 'doers' to swap ideas for developing responsible AI.

Join us to discuss how AI can help facilitate human innovation, whether and how AI itself can innovate, what purpose that innovation serves and the role innovation plays in the human experience.

Thanks to the generosity of our host - Ford Motor Company - we are delighted to welcome a brilliant panel:

Martin Allen Morales - CEO, Institute of imagination and serial entrepreneur

Hossein Dabbagh - Assistant Professor of Philosophy, NU London,

Daniel Fozzati - Founding partner, The Building Blocks

Usha Raghavachari - Head of Human-centred design, Ford Motor Company

Laurie Smith - Head of Foresight research, Nesta

Kate Thompson - Exited entrepreneur and former 'Chief inventor' Accenture's innovation.
