Building skills, knowledge and know-how for creating useful, responsible, scalable AI
Workshop Outcomes
What the Series Covers
Hands-on exploration of AI tools and capabilities - learning by doing, not just listening
How-to take AI from idea to market - understanding the practical process of development, deployment and scaling

Human ethics and values - exploring what we want AI to do for society, and the deeper questions of trust, purpose, fairness and dignity
Why Attend?
The narrative around AI is too often defined by fear and fragmentation. This forum exists to change that, building knowledge and practical capability grounded in governance, outcomes and human values. This is a curated, practitioner-led forum that brings together leaders, technologists, legal experts, regulators, innovators and changemakers in a deliberately interactive and supportive environment. We start where other courses finish.
The forum is led by Co-Labs Global and partners:
Annabel Gillard and Tracy Woods, founders of Real Conversations, which helps organisations succeed with digital transformation by aligning emerging technologies with their purpose, culture and ethics.
Ratul Ahmed from Commerzbank, who is also member of the Fintech Connect Advisory Board and the Bank of England AI Consortium
Adi Ben-Ari, founder of Applied Blockchain, which specialises in blockchain and advanced cryptography and Applied Edge, its AI consultancy arm.
