About the session

‘This AI Life’ was the second annual conference organised by Cooley LLP, Future Intelligence and the IET examining the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the population.

The aim of this year’s event was to offer a pragmatic assessment of where AI technology is, where it is going, what that means and what we must do to ensure it works to improve people’s lives.

Consisting of thought-provoking case studies, keynotes and discussions to equip attendees with the right skills and knowledge to understand the current landscape, the conference featured a line-up of leading figures from across the field – visionary speakers from industry and academia, as well as tech entrepreneurs and much more.

The second part of the programme, on Checks and Balances, looked at ethics, bias and diversity, but also the importance of trust in AI. In this video, speakers from the event explain why public trust in artificial intelligence is just as crucial as getting the technology right.
