- **Event Description**: An evening of debate & discussion exploring the questions, unintended consequences and opportunities of AI adoption.About this EventEveryone’s talking about AI in cities right now.Pilots. Use cases. Scaling. Procurement.But if we’re honest, much of the conversation still feels safe - focused on delivery and implementation, rather than the real impact on work, people and the kind of future we’re creating.This event is part of ongoing ESRC-funded research exploring what a good city AI ecosystem looks like in practice — not just in terms of what works, but what is fair, sustainable and delivers real public value.Through a structured discussion across two themes, we will explore some of the questions that are often left out of the conversation, inspired by the Oxford-style debate format:Discussion One: What should AI infrastructure for creative industries look like — and who should it benefit?Discussion Two: How is AI reshaping jobs, skills and the future of work in cities - and what are the long-term implications?This is not a typical panel event.Expect challenge and perspectives.No slides. No sales pitches.Just a chance to pause, reflect and ask: Are we building the kind of AI city we actually want?About the VenueNatWest Accelerator is based in the heart of Spinningfields, providing vital coaching, networking and resources for start-ups and small business.
