London, England
Applied Complexity Roundtable

All day

June 16, 2025

co-organized with Google DeepMind

This event is closed to the public.

This informal, Chatham House Rule, roundtable discussion brought members of SFI’s research and practitioner communities together with researchers and strategists from co-organizer Google DeepMind. The bulk of our time was spent in free-flowing roundtable discussion, and each key theme was introduced by brief provocations from pre-selected provocateurs. The key themes for the meeting were: 

  • AI, Trust, Community and Social Life
  • AI, Employment, and Wages
  • AI, Skills, Training, and Education 
  • AI and Science
