We spoke to Lavina Ramkissoon from All Things AI  ahead of her presentation (14th October 2020) at Inspired AI, the series of 10 cutting-edge and CPD accredited business, science, tech and networking online events gathering the global AI community and hosted by world-leading AI experts #withoutborders running from September to November 2020.

A data scientist, a CEO and a software engineer all walk into a crowded conference room.....only joking! If you’re of the mindset that international travel and crowded conference rooms are not where you want to be right now but you still need to do business, getexpert insights on AI implementation, network, and gain CPD accreditation then there’s only one place to be next quarter, THE Inspired AI online event series 

Dear World Summit AI community,

You said: “no more manels!”

We said: “never have, never will!”

You said: “all tech conferences are dominated by men”

We said: “not ours, we strive towards gender balance in all our content”

You said: “diversity and inclusion must be at the heart of AI”

We said: “our Inspired AI series actively recruits speakers to drive forwards the D&I agenda”

We spoke to Wendell Wallach, Senior Advisor, The Hastings Center & Interdisciplinary Center for Bioethics at Yale University ahead of his presentation (14th October 2020) at World Summit AI @ Inspired AI, the series of 10 cutting-edge and CPD Accredited business, science, tech and networking online events gathering the global AI community and hosted by world-leading AI experts #withoutborders running from September to November 2020.

So Wendell, what’s your biggest fear in relation to the application of AI?

It is merely used to empower the AI oligopoly at the expense of humanity as a whole.

We're so proud to announce that our CEO and Founder Sarah Porter was listed in the top 50 most influential women in the UK’s tech sector by Computer Weekly😍

An article by Clare McDonald, Business Editor at Computer Weekly

“Who are the most influential women in UK tech?” is a question we ask every year as we seek out to name the top 50 most influential women in the UK’s tech sector.

We spoke to Ramesh Raskar, Associate Professor at MIT Media Lab ahead of his presentation (12th November 2020) at Inspired AI, the series of 10 cutting-edge and CPD Accredited business, science, tech and networking online events gathering the global AI community and hosted by world-leading AI experts #withoutborders running from September to November 2020.

How do you think AI will make its biggest mark in business/on humanity/the world in the next 5 years? 10 years? 20 years?

Over the next five, ten, and twenty years, AI will prove itself as a strong concept with applications across multiple industries.

We spoke to Ana-Andrea Stoica, Research PHD Student at Columbia University ahead of her presentation (22nd October 2020) at Inspired AI, the series of 10 cutting-edge and CPD Accredited business, science, tech and networking online events gathering the global AI community and hosted by world-leading AI experts #withoutborders running from September to November 2020.

So Ana-Andrea, how do you think AI will cause human contact to change in the future?

As we've seen during quarantine times, AI is already changing human contact as it's making it easier to keep connected while apart. I think AI can be used to lessen some of the current social hierarchies (perhaps students would be more confident in contacting faculty given the easiness of online interaction, or perhaps it will be easier for all of us to connect regardless of expertise or background).
