ODI SUMMIT 2023: DATA CHANGES
7 November, free and online
“Without data, there is no AI.”
Sir Nigel Shadbolt, Executive Chair & Co-founder, ODI
Music composed by Sofia Roubati
Join the global conversation about data and AI at the ODI Summit 2023
How does data impact technological developments to tackle real-world challenges?
Without data, there is no AI. For society, the environment, and the economy to benefit, we need to focus as much on the data as we do on the rapidly evolving technology. This is an invitation for data experts, data enthusiasts, data changemakers, data scientists, and most importantly you, to join the conversation. So sign up for a free ticket!
This year the ODI Summit is a melting pot of ideas from civil society, the public and private sectors and academia, to ensure that we leave no one behind in the new era of technological development (AI) globally!
So join us for ODI Summit 2023, 10:00 – 17:00 GMT, to make data work for everyone.
