AI for Collective Intelligence

AI UK 2025
2025-03-17 - 2025-03-18 | QEII Centre, Broad Sanctuary, Westminster, London, SW1P 3EE, United Kingdom
Come and meet us at AI UK 2025!
We will present a rota of interactive demos representing the breadth of AI research activity taking place across two national AI research hubs (AI4CI and INFORMED AI) and Bristol’s Interactive AI CDT and Practice-Oriented AI CDT.
Our stand’s demonstrations will allow delegates to get first-hand experience of the research that is being pioneered at these two UK National AI Research Hubs and to meet and engage with the next generation of AI researchers being developed within two of the UK’s Centres of Doctoral Training in AI.
Also, across the full exhibition, you will hear from 150+ expert speakers across two stages, explore 40+ interactive demonstrations and participate in practical workshops and opportunities to connect and collaborate with fellow innovators, industry experts and academics.

UKAI Research Symposium
2025-09-08 - 2025-09-09 | Northumbria University, United Kingdom
UKAI Research Symposium: A Festival Of Ideas
UKAIRS, organised by UKRI, RAi UK and the AI Hubs hopes to welcome you to Northumbria University, for a festival of ideas, this September.
UKAIRS will provide a platform for UK AI researchers to showcase their latest research and discuss emerging challenges with the research community and with stakeholders from industry, government, and civil society. UKAIRS will embrace research discipline diversity and highlight the strength, breadth and depth of UK research in AI; from technical developments to innovative deployment and applications, through to shaping and influencing policy and regulation. We will celebrate work from all corners of the AI research community and invite colleagues to join us in delivering a programme that demonstrates why the UK is at the forefront of AI research.
Call for contributions
As this is the first edition of the symposium (with a full conference to follow in 2026), and to help manage demand, contributions are only invited from researchers, students, and practitioners directly funded by a UKRI project or programme (including pump-priming projects and impact accelerator awards) in the last 3 years (June 2022). We particularly encourage contributions from early career researchers. Contributions can be papers already published at other venues, provocations, demos, posters, and abstracts. The call for contributions is now open!

About this event
AI for Collective Intelligence (AI4CI), Architecture and Design Scotland (A&DS) and Edinburgh Futures Institute (EFI) are proud to host a public forum on ‘AI in the City’.
Join us for a broad and rounded discussion between expert panellists working within Geocomputation, city planning, smart city design, AI integration and AI ethics. Moderated by Scottish journalist, broadcaster and presenter Stephen Jardine.
Do you want to know more about how AI will affect how our cities are designed and managed? How AI will impact our towns, cities and rural areas? And what work is already in motion?
This event will give members of the public access to expert knowledge and the opportunity to ask the questions they most want the answers to.
Join us on 30th October and stay engaged with the influence of AI on city living, building and planning; the challenges, the opportunities, the risks, the rewards and the impact to communities living in these areas.
