In March 2021, the Turing is hosting its unique two-day online event, AI UK, to showcase the very best of UK academic work in artificial intelligence (AI); bringing together leading thinkers, innovative businesses and specialist third sector bodies. The event will:
The event will take place via an online platform designed to bring a community together. The two interactive stages will include panels and presentations from expert UK academics, policy makers, and industry leaders. There will also be roundtable discussions, hands-on ML demonstrations, and lots of opportunities to chat and interact throughout the day. We will also be holding a yoga session and showcasing a piece of performance art.
This event is for everyone operating in the UK AI community, and there will be content from technical talks to accessible panel discussions. The themes and content are structured around the national AI research challenges identified by the Turing, the role of AI post-COVID-19 and the important key themes of the UK AI Council’s Roadmap:
Technology against climate change |
Resilience to shocks |
A new epidemic |
Doing better in data science |
Can AI fix it? |
AI for smarter science |
Bridging the skills gap |
The UK AI Roadmap |
The full programme will be announced mid-February 2021.
The conference is designed to showcase the best in academic AI research, and as a result the content is designed for an informed audience rather than the general public. However, we do encourage anyone with a general interest in AI to visit the YouTube channel for recordings of the keynote speaker talks after the event, and to explore our Turing Lecture and Data Debate series.
Registration will open during the week commencing 25 January 2021, and standard tickets will cost £120. Discounted tickets will be available for postgraduate students at £35.

AI UK is the first national showcase of The Alan Turing Institute, the UK’s national institute of data science and AI. We want to invite as many people as possible from the wider UK academic, industry and public sectors to get engaged in the incredible research taking place across the country.
To help make this possible, we are offering 50 free tickets to AI UK for those who do not have the means to buy them. We strive to make our events engaging, inclusive and diverse spaces. We hope this access fund provides an opportunity for those who may otherwise not be able to participate.
You can apply for a free ticket by submitting an application. Please tell us how you are likely to benefit from or contribute to AI UK. We will allocate tickets on a first come first served basis and respond to all applications within 1-2 days once registration has opened.
