8 July, “Whose AI Is It Anyway? Data, Sovereignty, and the Geopolitics of Intelligence”, Panel, London

Location: King’s Institute for AI, LSE Data Science Institute, Bush House, King’s College London

When Anthropic’s Fable 5 was ordered offline worldwide just three days after its release, it sharpened a question artificial intelligence increasingly raises: who’s in control?

Most governments talk about ‘sovereign’ AI and some are now building it, but what does it really mean for a country, an institution, or a citizen to have a say over those systems? What happens when that control slips?

Join King’s Institute for AI and LSE’s Data Science Institute for a public panel bringing together leading voices to explore the technology, politics and security of AI and data sovereignty, and what’s at stake for the UK. Followed by a drinks reception.

The event will be chaired by Dr Vasilios Mavroudis of King’s, and other confirmed panellists are Professor Helen Margetts of LSE and Professor Richard Dobson of King’s/UCL.
