Hear from leading AI thinker and author Dr Daniel Susskind, and Dr Scott Steedman, CBE Director-General of Standards at BSI Group.
Join us for an exclusive BSI Members event where we’ll hear from Dr Daniel Susskind, Oxford University’s Fellow in Economics and Senior Research Associate at the Institute for Ethics in AI, .
Daniel will be discussing the question of just what the future of work might look like as AI becomes ever smarter and more prolific.
The New York Times described his writing as "required reading for any potential presidential candidate thinking about the economy of the future” so we are certainly guaranteed a thought-provoking evening.
The time for AI
Certainly, the timing is right to discuss the topic as AI is becoming standard in all businesses, not just in the world of tech. How will that change the jobs we do, the skills we need and the workforce of the future?
This is also a great opportunity to hear from BSI’s Dr Scott Steedman CBE, Director-General of Standards at BSI Group, as BSI joins partners to develop an AI Standards Hub to ensure that UK-led, globally relevant standards will underpin and foster the future of AI.
The evening is also the perfect gathering to network with like-minded BSI standards users and experts.
We hope to see you on 7 March 2022 at the Institute of Civil Engineering, One Great George Street, London SW1P 3AA.
Don’t miss out on an exclusive BSI Members evening of insightful keynotes, networking, and complimentary food and drinks.
