This will be a participant-driven event. Unlike traditional conferences\, there’s no predetermined agenda. We will be asking participants to suggest topics on the day. \nUltimately\, this will allow attendees to discuss some of the most significant and timely digital ethics issues facing us today and their bearing on future AI innovation. This format will facilitate the exploration of diverse subjects; fostering creativity\, peer-to-peer learning\, and tackling rapidly changing areas of interest in responsible AI. It is an opportunity to build connections with those working in the field and engage in knowledge-sharing and collaborative problem-solving. \nThis event is tailored for responsible AI professionals and creative practitioners\, including techUK’s Digital Ethics Working Group and the wider digital ethics ecosystem for this gathering\, as well as BRAID’s responsible AI research and industry network. For that reason\, it is invite-only. \nJoin us to connect with fellow creative practitioners and tech professionals across the digital ethics community and responsible AI ecosystem. Whether you’re looking to learn from others’ experiences\, contribute your insights\, find potential partners\, or expand your professional network\, this event provides a unique opportunity to join forces to address present-day challenges.
