OpenUK AI Policy Day
OpenUK’s AI Policy Day, London, 2 December, will focus on the key issues in AI faced globally in 2026, with openness as a topic that cuts across the questions.
The five topical questions in AI Policy have been mapped to the Geneva AI Summit’s theme “Bridging Innovation and Trust”, with the Priorities: Prosperity and Progress and Trust and Safety. They will dive into the key areas, with world-class speakers from technology, policy, politics, academia and business:
- How can we trust AI?
- Who owns our infrastructure?
- Who gets to build our AI?
- Who is liable for our AI?
- Who gets to govern AI?
