Monday, May 18  •  9 AM - 4:30 PM
Overview

Convening research, firm and policy expertise to ask: how can we couple AI with human capabilities to transform working lives for good?

Hosted by the UK’s leading future of work research and development institute, Making the Future Work convenes senior stakeholders across industry, research, technology, investment and policy.

Beginning with a keynote address from Secretary of State for DSIT, Liz Kendall, we will be examining one of the defining challenges of our time: how can AI be coupled with human capability to transform working lives for good and achieve better outcomes for people, place, and productivity?

As widespread technological adoption increases both impact and opportunity, it is vital that those with the power to use technology for good meet to advance understanding of how to make the future work.

This conference will bring together senior decision-makers, expert academics and leading firms to share best practice, reflect on current approaches and envision new futures for the UK’s future jobs and how they can best serve the needs of society.
