The UK’s national showcase of data science and artificial intelligence (AI)

Hosted by The Alan Turing Institute, AI UK is an in-depth exploration of how data science and AI can be used to solve real-world challenges. Our diverse programme was thematically structured around the latest innovations from across the AI ecosystem. With a broad range of interactive content, covering the latest thinking on fundamental AI, digital twins, algorithmic bias, AI ethics – and much more.

  • Sessions exploring the latest developments in data science and AI research, applied to today’s most pressing issues
  • Thought leaders across far-reaching disciplines
  • Innovative demonstrations of state-of-the-art AI research
  • Thought-provoking discussions, workshops and interdisciplinary networking sessions
  • Opportunities to engage with the Turing as the national institute for data science and AI.

With its strong focus on accessibility and drive to ensure people from all backgrounds are in a position to contribute to the UK’s future in data science and AI, The Alan Turing Institute provides a number of complimentary in-person tickets to AI UK, for those who are living on a low income. Find out how we’re making AI UK accessible and apply online.

Journalists can request to receive a press pass by emailing [email protected]. Please note that there is a limited number available, so we regret that we cannot guarantee everyone a place.

The call for demonstrations for AI UK is now open until 4 November 2024 and there are a limited number of sponsorship opportunities available.

“One of the most striking aspects of the event was how broad a research area AI is; it was inspiring to see how many different directions one could take. I will continue to recommend the event to people interested in exploring data science further.”

“This has to be the best AI-focused event I’ve attended, thank you to all who worked to put it together. The event highlights that we all have a lot to do to ensure that the AI sector in the UK thrives, but we are doing a lot of work already and the country is really trying to take a leading role, which is fantastic to see.”

“I found it interesting, engaging and thought-provoking. It was particularly fascinating to hear the illuminating perspectives of speakers from Asia, Africa and the Global South.”

“I wanted to congratulate the AI UK team for the excellent level of representation in the event. As a mature woman PhD student from a minority community, I could find someone who reflected me in some way in the various panels. Well done!”

“Besides the motivation, excitement and hope from all the inspirational speakers, AI UK has also re-confirmed my decision to pivot my career and I’m very much looking forward to a role in data science for the public good!”
