​Gloucestershire Tech Week - Day Four: Artificial Intelligence

​Thursday 15 October 2026 | Patch, The Forum, Gloucester

​A day spent asking whether we are ready for what comes next in the future of artificial intelligence.

​The potential of AI is well covered. The practical questions that come with it are not. Yet those are the questions that decide whether it delivers. This day is about that side of the conversation. It covers the responsibilities, the risks and the realities of putting AI to work. It also draws on the experience of people already doing it.

​Thank you to our day sponsor, Zaizi.
