THE BRITISH EMBASSY INVITES YOU TO

DESIGNING OUR FUTURE 

A WEBINAR PANEL DISCUSSION ON THE FUTURE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Artificial Intelligence is poised to transform the modern world. In the short term, AI is being deployed like never before to combat COVID-19 as governments, businesses, and health organizations leverage the technology in unprecedented ways to respond to the pandemic. In the long term, AI will represent a step change for the economy, how we live and work, and society at large. If widely adopted, AI could add $330 billion to the UK economy alone by 2030 as it optimizes existing sectors and generates entirely new ones. But with this potential also comes risk: from displacing members of the workforce to further exacerbating current inequalities. 

Please join the US National Science Foundation, Axios, and the British Embassy for a special webinar panel discussion as experts from government, business, and research sit down to discuss how AI is being used in the fight against COVID-19, the role of international collaboration in AI, and how to reap the rewards of AI while avoiding the risks.
