Brighton AI - Exploring the Future of AI together
AI is moving fast. New tools, ideas and ethical questions are popping up daily - and it can feel like a lot to keep up with. That’s where Brighton AI comes in.
We’re building a local and digital community for anyone interested in AI - from researchers and developers to artists, educators, founders, policy folk and the simply curious.
Whether you’re here to build, learn, or ask better questions, you’ll find a friendly bunch of people who care about making sense of AI together - and doing it responsibly.
What we're about:
🧠 Big conversations - Panels, keynotes and fireside chats with voices from busines, policy-making, academia and skills.
🛠 Hands-on learning - Workshops and demos to explore how AI tools can be used in real life
🤝 Shared thinking - A space to exchange ideas, ask questions, and see AI from different perspectives
Our focus? Responsible AI design, development and deployment. That means thinking deeply, testing things out, and staying curious - no matter your background.
So whether you’re building with AI, thinking about its impact, or just trying to figure out what it means for your world, you’re welcome here.
Come join the conversation. Let’s shape the future of AI together.
👥 Humans in the loop, always.

See all- Local AI Innovation in Action: Meet the InnovatorsPlus X Innovation, Brighton
Brighton & Hove isn’t just a brilliant, creative city by the sea – it’s fast becoming a testbed for AI innovation. From researchers, to startups & scale ups, to long-established businesses, our community is experimenting with new ways of building, creating, and solving problems with AI.
At this month’s Brighton AI, we’re showcasing three very different local innovators who are putting AI to work in the real world.

This year, 15gifts launched Humara - a specialist AI sales agent. Powered by 13+ years of expertise and trained by top performing salespeople, Humara combines agentic AI with sales psychology to power intelligent digital conversations that build trust and drive confident buying decisions. - James Devonport – Co-Founder of Create With, the No Code community & conference (https://createwith.com) and Founder of UserLoop.
James will share how the Create With conference uses AI automations to super-power their organisation, and how they built their entire conference app with Bubble. - Shaun Ring – PhD researcher at the University of Sussex and Co-Founder of LHC Labs.
Born out of a collaboration with Oracle, Quistor, and Sussex, LHC Labs is building an AI toolbox and consultancy that delivers a range of AI solutions across research, operations, and innovation - including hate speech & social media analysis.
This isn’t theory – it’s AI in action, right here in our city 🤩. You’ll hear how they approached it, what they're learning, and what’s next.
Who's it for?
Whether you’re a founder, a freelancer, part of a team, a researcher, or just curious to learn more, you’ll leave with fresh ideas and a sense of what’s possible when AI meets Brighton's creative energy.
Everyone is welcome. Come along, bring your questions and ideas, and be part of a friendly community learning about AI together.
As always, there’ll be time for questions, connections, and conversations over drinks in Plus X's relaxed, welcoming space.
