Building an AI Centric City for Good | Brighton AI

Explore the potential for artificial intelligence (AI) to positively transform cities, with a focus on Brighton and Hove. Hosted by Rose Tighe and Martin Howe, the event features key presenters from academia, business, and innovation sectors.

The event begins with an introduction from the hosts, who reflect on their six-month journey investigating how AI can reshape city life. Katherine Church from KC Digital Consultancy provides insights into the principles guiding technological change and discusses how AI will influence these dynamics.

A panel discussion follows, featuring Stuart Hedley from the University of Brighton, who explains how the university collaborates with businesses and what funding opportunities are available. Maria Bedoya from Sussex Innovation Centre (SINC) presents their research on three key opportunity areas for Sussex, highlighting how the region could benefit from AI.

A second panel, with Richard Freeman of Always Possible addresses the “Brighton Paradox” and why this moment might be ideal for change. He also covers other cities' efforts around AI and collaboration. Grace Prior from Silicon Brighton outlines her plans for AI in the tech cluster and how this will serve as a vehicle for change in the region.

The event concludes with an audience Q&A and final reflections by Rose and Martin, maintaining a focus on AI’s broader implications rather than delving into its technical aspects.
