Artificial intelligence is the most consequential technological advancement of a generation. As AI companies amass more power, how can we ensure this technology is used ethically, solving challenges rather than creating them?

As the recent ideological conflict at OpenAI shows, stakeholder interest and internal politics can take priority over ethical commitments. With OpenAI and ChatGPT gaining increasing influence in the AI market, what are the ramifications of concentrating such pivotal decisions in the hands of a select few?

Karen Hao, award-winning AI journalist, will help answer these questions. Karen will be in conversation with Nesta’s Group Chief Practices Officer James Plunkett to explore how we can leverage AI to solve societal challenges while mitigating ethical risks.

This event is for policymakers, technologists, academics – or anyone interested in the role of artificial intelligence in society. You’ll hear insights on how to manage the ethical challenges around AI and how it can be developed responsibly.
