What we’re about
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.
