We take on Artificial Intelligence at this year’s annual BI Centre for Corporate Communication Summit. Speakers will discuss a diverse range of subjects; from asking when we will have our first AI elected official, to using digital technology to save the oceans, and to looking at the digital future.

It is a privilege to have as our keynote speaker Professor Philip Howard, director of the Oxford University Internet Institute and author of Pax Technica: How the Internet of Things May Set Us Free or Lock Us Up. Professor Howard investigates the impact of digital media on political life around the world, and he is a frequent commentator on global media and political affairs.
