Covid-19 has forced nations to join together to fight the pandemic as a unified front, to find a vaccine, and to help rebuild the global economy. These trends around globalisation are particularly seen through the global partnership on AI where countries are moving away from using AI as a competitive advantage and towards working together to solve global issues such as the pandemic but also climate change, poverty and disease.
Join us for this thought-provoking discussion with Sana Khareghani who will talk about the UK’s role in the global partnership on AI and share what the UK governments AI strategy is that will help rebuild the post-Covid economy. Register today here.
