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😍

“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).

During these uncertain times and with the safety of the WSAI community in our hearts, we're pleased to announce that we're bringing the world-class AI brains and unique energy World Summit AI and InspiredMinds is renowned for, in a brand new online format and theme “Without Borders”.

We have listened to what our community of 54,000 want, and in response we have redesigned World Summit AI into a more simple and practical way to consume the same world-class content with 9 mind-blowing online events delivered over a 3 month period as part of the Inspired AI series (Sept-Nov 2020).
