About this Event

AI is advancing at a pace that is reshaping how STEM organisations work, learn and make decisions. This Leaders Dialogue will explore where AI can amplify human judgement, creativity and problem-solving rather than replace them, and what leaders need to do now to build confidence, capability and responsible adoption across their organisations.
A core focus will be the role of academia in supporting industry through this transformation: preparing AI-ready graduates, protecting and strengthening foundational STEM problem-solving skills, and creating stronger pathways between education, research, spin-outs and industry application. The discussion will be strategic rather than technical, covering AI readiness, workforce transformation, future skills, leadership development, industry-academia collaboration and education reform.
This is intended to be a strategic leadership dialogue, not a technical AI session.
