Building AI for Good - Showcase & Meetup #2
Are you an engineer, developer, or someone passionate about building AI for the public good? Then come and join us for our second Building AI for Good Showcase & Meetup!
We're building a community of technologists and innovators committed to leveraging AI for social good. Our events aim to be exciting (show, not tell!), technically focused (but accessible) and highly participatory – and we're looking for speakers!
🎤 Call for Speakers
Whether you have:
- A 20-minute showcase of your kick-ass demo
- A 5-minute pitch for an idea you'd like feedback on
- Anything in between!
Talks should be short (ideally well under 30 minutes), but punchy, and focused on showing not telling - show us the cool thing you're working on, or come ask for collaborators on that one mad idea you've had!
⏰ Schedule
18:30 - Doors Open
19:00 - 19:20: Thomas Wood and Bettina Moltrecht on Harmony, a project that uses generative AI and LLMs to help researchers discover datasets and compare items in mental health questionnaires. Harmony is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and previously by the Wellcome Trust.
19:25 - 19:45: Rob Pickering will talk about agentic interfaces to public services using Voice AI. Using an open source transactional interface builder he will imagine a couple of different agents in public service.

20:15 onwards: community notices and mingling

- Good food (ideally pizza 🍕, but we're flexible)
- Great spaces (got a venue to share? 🏢)
- Amazing people (that's you! 👋)
