Dr Hardcastle, Assistant Professor in Marketing, explained: \u201cI believe it is vital that we capture and articulate a regional voice on the opportunities and threats around AI for local people, organisations and businesses,\u201d Dr Hardcastle said. \u201cInfluencing AI regulation at Parliament is essential to ensure a prosperous and responsible AI-driven future for our region and beyond.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are at a unique moment for technology. We haven’t even dealt with the issues brought about by social media technologies, yet AI has the potential to create further societal problems that must be averted. We know that the best time to influence a medium is at the very beginning of its trajectory. We want to position the North East at the forefront of the global conversation on AI safety and this event at Northumbria is the first real opportunity to do this before the UK Government hosts the first Global AI Safety Summit next month.\u201d<\/p>\n
Al Alzein, Membership Engagement Manager at Dynamo, added: \u201cDynamo is the voice of the North East tech sector and therefore we are delighted to be partnering up with Northumbria University \u2013 long-term Dynamo members \u2013 to give our region an opportunity to get involved in the AI safety debate via this event.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are so many fantastic people and businesses in our region with a plethora of perspectives on this topic, and we want people to attend this event and get involved in the conversation to give the North East a say.\u201d<\/p>\n
