The tech bros are selling their vision of a future with AI. But should the UK buy it, or is there another way?

Join us for an evening of food, drinks, and lively discussion with industry experts. We'll be asking:

• How can the UK achieve its aim to be a world leader in AI?
• Do the government's dealings with US tech companies help or hinder this ambition?
• What can be done to support the homegrown AI industry?
• Can the UK get ahead in AI while remaining a cultural and creative powerhouse?

Hosted by EIP's Codiphy team, specialist IP advisors for software, AI, and data-driven tech.
