Accelerating AI Everywhere with SW Solutions and Federated Learning – The AI Summit London with Intel

A centre piece event in London Tech Week, huge advances in technology across Artificial Intelligence were brought centre stage, underpinned by a celebration of knowledge sharing, networking, and breaking insights into technology trends. According to Omdia 2022, AI adoption is sitting at a 25% scaling on the diffusion of innovation curve but it was clear from this summit, especially announcements from Intel with whom I am honored to be an ambassador, that the trajectory, scale and scope of adoption is accelerating across multiple sector verticals. This includes rising relevance for FinTech, Insurtech, and eCommerce companies with the rapid acceleration in scrutiny regards how an individual's data is used. As a judge for the AI Journal Awards, I was especially impressed with the focus on student outreach, with a superb Hackathon showcasing youth talent in AI and Data Science alongside John Lewis & Partners sharing about their innovative apprentice program for AI and Machine learning – brilliant activities! It was also excellent to see the attention afforded to issues and risks around privacy, especially with the imminent demise of third-party cookies, plus AI ethics and the potential for inherent model bias.
