An action-packed agenda has been announced for the Milton Keynes AI Festival 2024.
The Milton Keynes AI Festival 2024 is being held from 28 October to 1 November, and gathers the city’s tech leaders to showcase and explore the various opportunities presented by AI. The Festival marks the anniversary of the UK Government’s AI Safety Summit held at Bletchley Park last year, which saw global leaders attend to discuss the future of AI.
Milton Keynes City Council has put together what promises to be a pioneering AI event focused on innovation, learning and ethical advances in modern technologies and AI. Dynamic events include an interactive hackathon, insightful workshops on adult learning and in-depth discussions on the challenges of responsible generative AI. A key theme of the festival is the mission to demystify AI, making it accessible and understandable for everyone. Further information and how to register is available on the Protospace website.
The Festival is also an opportunity to highlight the ongoing work to boost the city’s position as a leader in the tech ecosystem and deliver on the city council’s Technology, Smart City, Digital and Creative Industries Strategy, cementing Milton Keynes’ global reputation as a smart city and the home of innovation.
Events will be running across the city, hosted by major organisations including Bletchley Park (where the Festival will formally open), The Open University, MK College, Santander, Smart City Consultancy, Bidwells and His Majesty's Government Communications Centre (HMGCC) – and additional companies.
“The MK AI Festival 2024 will be a landmark event for Milton Keynes, showcasing the incredible talent and innovation happening right here in our city. The Festival will enable us to bring together leading AI and tech developments in MK and across the country, so we can work together to make the most of these opportunities. Alongside our partners, we’re putting on a series of events that cover a range of subjects that impact our everyday lives. We’re proud to be the home of innovation and high performance technologies and through the Festival we’ll show everyone how they can play their part.”
