1. AI at an Inflection Point: Ethics and Societal Impact in Focus

“I think the industry in general is really at an inflection point. We have so much energy and attention on AI, particularly in my field, which is policy and ethics and the societal implications for AI. So this is a really important time to engage, to be here, to be talking to people, and to understand each other and engage in that dialogue.”

 Brendan Schulman, Vice President of Policy & Government Relations at Boston Dynamics

With AI becoming more pervasive, discussions around its ethical use and societal consequences are intensifying. Industry leaders emphasise the importance of ongoing dialogue to shape responsible AI development.


2. The Exponential Growth of AI Advancements

“One of the things that's really caught my attention about today is the scale and speed at which advancements are happening. It's really clear to me it's exponential and not linear.”

Sholthana Begum, Head of Data and Strategy at Financial Conduct Authority

AI innovation is accelerating at an unprecedented rate. From generative models to automation, the pace of development is creating new opportunities—and challenges—faster than ever before.

3. Robotics: The Rise of Humanoid Machines

“The most exciting trends in AI that I'm seeing are really in the robotics space. What we've seen in the past year or two are all kinds of companies announcing their humanoid robot projects, including our own new electronic Atlas. These are robots that are going to be super useful in places where people work, do manufacturing, and other industrial tasks.”

 Brendan Schulman, Vice President of Policy & Government Relations at Boston Dynamics

Humanoid robots are rapidly moving from concept to reality. With major companies unveiling advanced models, robotics is poised to play a significant role in industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare.


4. From Proof of Concept to Real-World Execution

“Last year the topic was governance. This year it's all about execution. How do people move away from doing proof of concepts and start productionising products and services that create real business value?”

David Norris, Chief Growth Officer at Holiday Extras

The focus in AI is shifting from experimentation to real-world implementation. Organisations are prioritising the deployment of AI-powered products and services that drive tangible business outcomes.


5. The Coming Consumer AI Boom

“I think consumers haven't really felt the true impact of what AI can do for them. Very soon, with voice and phones and AI on phones, we will see an explosion of consumer interest in what AI can do for them.”

David Norris, Chief Growth Officer at Holiday Extras

AI’s influence on everyday life is set to expand dramatically. With the integration of AI into smartphones and voice assistants, consumers will experience more personalised and powerful AI applications in their daily routines.
