The AI Fringe was a series of events hosted across London and the UK to complement the UK Government’s AI Safety Summit by bringing a broad and diverse range of voices into the conversation. It expanded discussion around safe and responsible AI beyond the AI Safety Summit’s focus on Frontier AI safety.
The AI Fringe was a separate event to the AI Safety Summit.
Our goals
- Bring together the views of industry, civil society and academia on safe and beneficial AI.
- Provide a platform for all communities – including those historically underrepresented – to engage in the discussion
- Enhance understanding of AI and its impacts so organisations can harness its benefits.
The AI Fringe included a series of panels, fireside conversations and keynotes that considered AI’s specific domains and use cases, cross-cutting challenges and how to create a responsible AI ecosystem. These discussions featured some of the most prominent contributors to AI discourse, alongside diverse voices from a range of different communities.
Perspectives from the AI Fringe
The AI Fringe brought together diverse views from across civil society, academia and industry – including those historically underrepresented – to engage in the discussion about AI safety and aimed to showcase the UK’s thriving ecosystem, as well as enhance understanding of AI and its impacts.
Capturing the different views found at the AI Fringe here in the Perspectives paper is a means of contributing to and continuing ongoing discussion about responsible AI development and deployment.
The perspectives represented in this paper are drawn from a range of organisations across civil society, industry and academia, as well as from a group of citizens who comprised the People’s Panel on AI. There was never an expectation that these perspectives would align completely, but there are many areas of agreement and consensus to be found - which we've articulated here in the spirit of informing further conversations.
