Data Summit returns for 2023 to showcase Scotland's leading role in the world of data and AI.

The world is undergoing a data and AI renaissance. Tools such as ChatGPT, Midjourney, and DALL-E have pushed data and artificial intelligence to the forefront of public discourse and captured the world’s imagination – but what do these advancements mean for humanity’s future?

Data Summit 2023 will welcome thought leaders, scientists, journalists, artists, and everyone to discuss how data and AI shape our lives. From culture to net zero, privacy to disinformation, religion to space travel, no corner of the human experience will remain unexplored as we unravel the secrets, unveil the possibilities, and challenge the conventional wisdom that governs our lives.
