Bristol Data Week 2025 highlights AI For Good
Bristol Data Week 2025 explores ethical and creative AI.
Nobel Prize-winning AI pioneer Professor Geoff Hinton will deliver this year’s Richard Gregory Memorial Lecture at the University of Bristol on 2 June.
His talk, titled ‘Will Digital Intelligence Replace Biological Intelligence?’, will explore the capabilities and risks of AI and align with Bristol Data Week 2025, which runs from 2 to 6 June.
Hinton, known for his foundational work on neural networks, attended secondary school in Bristol and recently received the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics. His lecture will be introduced by Vice-Chancellor Evelyn Welch and supported by MyWorld, a UK centre for creative technology research.
Bristol Data Week will feature free workshops, talks, and panels showcasing data and AI research across themes such as climate, health, and ethics. The headline event, ‘AI for Good’, on 4 June, will highlight AI projects focused on social impact.
Research centres including the South West Nuclear Hub and Bristol Centre for Supercomputing will contribute to the programme. Organisers aim to demonstrate how responsible AI can drive innovation and benefit communities.
