Despite rapid progress in AI, there remains a significant gap between the potential of these technologies and our ability to deploy them for public good.

Our panel includes:

• Neil Lawrence, DeepMind Professor of Machine Learning at the University of Cambridge

• Jess Montgomery, Director, ai@cam

• Gina Neff, Executive Director of the Minderoo Centre for Technology & Democracy at the University of Cambridge
