Why You Still Aren’t Thinking Big Enough About The Future of Tech

Join Thames Valley AI & Reading Tech Cluster for a special speaker event with Ted Shelton.

For years, the public conversation around AI has been dominated by chatbots, prompts, and productivity hacks. But the real shift is much bigger: we are moving from a world where humans tell machines exactly what to do, to one where we teach systems what matters and increasingly delegate complex work to them.

Join us for an insight into how AI is being talked about in Silicon Valley, as Ted explains his views on where rapid advancements in technology are taking us.
