AI and Social Care Summit: AI that works for social care

The event is co-hosted by the Institute for Ethics in AI at Oxford University and the Alliance for AI in Social Care, which will be presented on the day. The day will be an opportunity to reflect on the current state of AI in adult social care and to define gaps, needs and good practice together. We will also welcome guests from the US, who will talk to us about the current state of AI in social care in the US context.

This event is now closed for registrations.
