Next month, Liverpool City Region, will be holding its first International AI Summit to set out a vision for the future of artificial intelligence in the UK.
The event will examine how AI is being used to solve real-world challenges and how it could drive a “fairer, more inclusive society.”
“The Liverpool City Region has always been a place of pioneers, and today we’re leading the charge in one of the most exciting areas of modern technology – Artificial Intelligence. This summit isn’t just about showcasing the amazing talent and innovations happening right here; it’s about making sure that AI works for everyone,” said Liverpool City Region Mayor Steve Rotheram.
“From healthcare to education, AI has the potential to transform lives, and we’re committed to using it as a force for good. But it’s vital that we steer this technology in the right direction – ensuring it’s ethical, fair, and benefits people across the UK, not just in Silicon Valley or big tech hubs. This summit is a chance to put the Liverpool City Region on the map as a global leader in AI for Good, while driving the national conversation on how we can use this transformative technology to build a better future for all of us.”
