Artificial Intelligence: Friend or Foe? 2.0

Organised by Fruition IT

Join us for this exciting transatlantic webinar exploring the potential threats – and opportunities – posed by the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities.

The discussion will take the form of a Q&A with some of the leading minds in the fields of AI and cyber security in the US and the UK, with a chance for the audience to pose their own questions to the panel.
