The Liverpool City Region AI Summit will hear from some of the UK’s top names in artificial intelligence.

Taking place at ACC Liverpool on 23rd October and hosted by BBC presenter Jo Coburn – with support from AI-powered avatars – the speakers will set out an ‘inspiring vision for the future of AI’ – exploring how artificial intelligence can enrich lives and tackle some of the most pressing real-world challenges, while driving a fairer, more inclusive society.

Spanning four stages and in front of more than 800 people, the summit will hear from Oxford University Professor Michael Wooldridge, presenter of the televised Royal Institution Christmas Lectures about AI in 2023; and Mike Bracken CBE, founder and former executive director of the UK Government Digital Service (GDS) and the UK’s first Government chief data officer.

Representatives from Europe, Australia and the US will add an international feel to the summit – in a year that’s seen the world’s largest IT infrastructure services provider, Kyndryl, set up a major AI base in Liverpool.
