Beyond The Machine
Terrace Talks are back for a new season to bring together leading voices in technology, policy, and innovation for an evening of insight and dialogue around the rise of AI
We will explore how industries are evolving from infrastructure to intelligence, and where we must draw the line between progress and control.
