Future of AI Summit 2024 - London | Financial Times | 5 November 2024 | Etc.Venues, 155 Bishopsgate, London EC2M 3YD, UK

Artificial intelligence is no longer a futuristic concept; it's reshaping industries and economies, transforming workplaces, and raising profound questions about society's future. Where does the technology stand today and where is it poised to be in the next 5 years? Who is funding the sector? How can businesses leverage AI to drive innovation, efficiency, and growth? What are the economic implications of AI, and how can governments, businesses and technology leaders ensure its responsible development and deployment?

This event will return in 2024 to assess the current landscape for AI innovation and examine the real world use cases for how companies are investing in AI, whilst navigating security, workforce and ethical concerns. Hear from the AI experts across technology, business, and policy and learn about the most exciting advancements in machine learning, natural language processing, and robotics and how they are being scaled for success and growth.

Taking place across two in-person days, the event gathers a cross-sector audience of strategy, innovation, technology, and business function leaders charged with creating, integrating, scaling and commercialising AI.
