How do you feel about AI? Are you worried it will take over our jobs and damage our planet - or are you excited about its potential to improve our health and simplify our lives? Without strong regulations, ethical safeguards, and transparency, could these powerful technologies harm society more than they help it? Join this discussion about the future of artificial intelligence in an exclusive online event featuring the renowned computer scientist Dame Wendy Hall DBE, a global pioneer in AI, the Web, and data science, and Regius Professor of Computer Science at the University of Southampton. Hosted by fellow alumna, the BBC’s Zoe Kleinman, an acclaimed technology journalist, this event promises an insightful and engaging exploration of the challenges, opportunities, and ethical considerations surrounding AI in today’s world.

‐
Join us at MAST Mayflower Studios for an evening with artist and activist, Alison Lapper. At the heart of creating an inclusive world is the understanding the conversations we have (or do not have) matter and have the power to shape perceptions, influence behaviour, and ultimately determine who feels seen, safe, and supported in our communities. The event will explore how language can stimulate a deeper sense of belonging for people with disabilities and why it’s essential that we use it mindfully.
