Artificial intelligence is changing how organisations work, make decisions and serve people. But beyond the headlines, many businesses are still looking for clear, practical ways to get started.
AI Unlocked brings together leaders, innovators and practitioners from across West Yorkshire to explore how AI can create real impact. Through talks, panels and interactive sessions, attendees will hear from experts who are using AI to solve real problems and improve the way services are delivered.
Hippo’s Ed Hiley, Suze Hawkins and Liz Whitefield will join the speaker line up to share insights on responsible innovation and people-centred design. Dave Howlett and Lucie Gibson will also be part of the event, supporting conversations on delivery, design and the practical realities of using AI in live services.
Later in the day, Hippo will take part in The Great Debate, an open discussion exploring the opportunities and challenges of AI, and how to adopt it in a way that works for people and businesses alike.
AI Unlocked is for anyone who wants to move from curiosity to confidence and leave with ideas they can put into practice.
