Generative AI & The Knowledge Economy Symposium: Day 1 at Imperial College London

Our annual Symposium on Generative AI & The Knowledge Economy is back on 20/21 May 2024. This event is part of the ongoing DSI Squared Partnership - a collaboration between the Data Science Institutes at Imperial College London and The London School of Economics and Political Science.

2024 Theme: Making Generative AI Work Well: Tackling Effectiveness, Safety, and Integrity

As generative AI smashed records for speed of individual adoption, organisations are now tackling challenges of making AI work well—well enough to support not just individual adoption, but institutionalisation. Though still early days, users, organisations, and policymakers have come to appreciate the challenges of hallucination, control, and transparency of data and use. In response to these challenges, scientists, entrepreneurs, users, and governments are tackling issues of effectiveness, safety, and integrity. Through a programme of talks and panels on the key challenges, our 2024 symposium will take up the theme of Making Generative AI Work Well.
