The Future of AI: Are We Really on the Path to AGI, or Do We Need a Quick Turnaround Now?
As AI accelerates, so too does the hype. But are we truly edging closer to Artificial General Intelligence – or are we hurtling down a path that demands a serious course correction?
Join us for a lively and thought-provoking panel exploring where AI is really heading. We’ll unpack the bold claims around AGI, question the assumptions driving current investment and research, and ask whether the AI community is prioritising speed over safety, depth over direction.
Expect insight, disagreement, and maybe even a few uncomfortable truths – from experts at the cutting edge of AI research, ethics, and innovation. Whether you’re an optimist, sceptic, or somewhere in between, this is the conversation you don’t want to miss.
The format:
Expert Panel – No fluff. Just powerful, practical, future-forward insight
Live Q&A – Ask the questions everyone else is afraid to
Networking – Meet other brilliant humans building the future
Schedule:
5:30 PM – Networking
6:30 PM – Expert Panel with Q&A
8:30 PM – Close.
Who Should Attend
Tech professionals, students, startup leaders, data scientists, engineers, people and culture teams, product innovators, futurists, and anyone asking: “What’s next?”
