How will AI shape the future of our communities and influence the way we live our lives?

Join the Artificial Intelligence Collaboration Centre (AICC), in collaboration with AI for Collective Intelligence (AI4CI), for a free public forum exploring the opportunities, challenges and impact of artificial intelligence on our society.

This event will bring together voices from technology, policy, academia, industry, and civic life to discuss the opportunities, challenges, and responsibilities that come with the growing use of AI. Through a chaired panel discussion and audience Q&A, we will explore what AI could mean for areas such as public services, healthcare, education, infrastructure, careers, communities, and decision-making.

The forum is designed for a broad public audience. You do not need a technical background to attend.

The aim is to create an open and accessible conversation about how AI can be developed and used in ways that support people, places, and society.
