The King's Festival of Artificial Intelligence returns to King's College London from Tuesday 20 May to Saturday 24 May to explore the latest developments in AI, including on education, healthcare, the creative industries, sustainability and business.

King’s experts and external guests tackle the world’s most urgent problems – such as climate change and social equality – and how it’s changing some of our most human impulses – to care, to create, to learn. Speakers will also share their recommendations for government, when it comes to harnessing the benefits of AI safely and responsibly.

The Festival is hosted by the King's Institute for Artificial Intelligence, and brings together over 100 colleagues from across King’s nine faculties to showcase their research through public lectures, panel discussions, workshops, lightning talks and activities. Across the five days, they will be joined by around 20 expert guests from a variety of sectors at events taking place at the Strand Campus, Guy’s Campus, the London Institute for Healthcare Engineering, the Science Gallery London and online.

The festival events are free and open to all. Visit the Festival event series page to explore the full programme and to register for events.

Artificial intelligence (AI) presents both immense opportunities and daunting challenges for society. Real discourse and collaboration across disciplines, sectors, and communities is essential. The King’s Institute for Artificial Intelligence recognises this. It brings together King’s considerable strengths in artificial intelligence. It fosters cross-disciplinary dialogue and new communities around our most urgent and significant challenges while working to engage with industry, policymakers, educators, and other communities who will be shaped by (and who can shape) artificial intelligence.
