"The whole session was very insightful as I have limited experience of using AI but after today I have a much better understanding!" "It's exciting how much potential there is and to hear about the difference that AI can make." It was a meeting of AI minds at Higgs LLP yesterday as we welcomed Alex Zarifeh, Heather Murray, Chris Meah and Professor Abdul Hamid Sadka to discuss how artificial intelligence is changing everything and what we can do to embrace it, for all its benefits, in its full capacity and use it to our advantage. From education at primary level, to AI coding and how to get started if you really are a 'non-techie', our sessions were eye-opening and a big realisation for all of us that AI is definitely here to stay. Thank you to everyone that attended - we hope you found it as engaging as we did. With thanks to Jamie Partington who chaired the event and to James Modley for his insightful commentary and discussion.
