Ask the Expert - AI’s role in digital futures and sustainability

We are excited to announce a special Ask the Expert forum event, inspired by the insights and discussions from the IET’s 2024 global webinar series "IET President’s AI Roadshow: Shaping the Future of AI Ethics”.  This series, guided by Dr. , the IET’s immediate past President, brought together experts from around the world to explore the transformative potential of artificial intelligence.

From May to July 2024, participants from 18 countries engaged in nine webinars, delving into the development of real-time, context-sensitive AI solutions that empower industries to make intelligent, rapid decisions. The series also emphasised the ethical, responsible, and impactful application of AI across various fields. Read the output from the webinars in our summary document: Leading with Intelligence: AI’s Role in Digital Futures and Sustainability.

Now, we invite you to continue this important conversation.  Our next Ask the Expert event will provide a platform for you to ask questions, share your thoughts, and gain deeper insights into how AI can shape a sustainable future. Whether you’re an industry professional, academic, or policymaker, this is your chance to engage with Gopi and explore practical recommendations for navigating AI’s evolving role in our world.
