But according to influential business leaders such as Jensen Huang, CEO of the world’s most valuable designer and seller of advanced computer chips, Nvidia, the UK and other Western nations risk losing the AI race to China due to unnecessary cynicism and worry over AI. On January 19 a panel of experts come to Intelligence Squared to debate and discuss the reality of Britain’s relationship with AI for the next instalment of our Economic Outlook series. Are fears over an AI bubble cause for legitimate concern in the years ahead? How can we stem the brain drain of bright graduates and start-ups leaving for countries like the US? And how should the government tackle the key issues of energy costs and regulation that stand in the way of innovation? Join us live from Smith Square Hall in Westminster and have your questions answered in the audience Q&A.
