Whose AI Is It Anyway? Data, Sovereignty, and the Geopolitics of Intelligence
2026-07-08 18:30 - 20:30 UTC
Location: King’s Institute for AI, LSE Data Science Institute, Bush House, King’s College London
When Anthropic’s Fable 5 was ordered offline worldwide just three days after its release, it sharpened a question artificial intelligence increasingly raises: who’s in control?
Most governments talk about ‘sovereign’ AI and some are now building it, but what does it really mean for a country, an institution, or a citizen to have a say over those systems? What happens when that control slips?
Join King’s Institute for AI and LSE’s Data Science Institute for a public panel bringing together leading voices to explore the technology, politics and security of AI and data sovereignty, and what’s at stake for the UK. Followed by a drinks reception.
The event will be chaired by Dr Vasilios Mavroudis of King’s, and other confirmed panellists are Professor Helen Margetts of LSE and Professor Richard Dobson of King’s/UCL.

AI, Communities & Coops (CoTech Autumn Gathering 2026)
2026-09-17 09:30 - 17:00 UTC
Real talk on ethical AI for values-driven teams. Panel, unconference & honest debate. Sept 17, London. For co-ops, charities & public sector
Can AI tools serve our communities rather than just extracting value from them? And how do we adopt them ethically in values-driven businesses?

CoTech is bringing its network together for a day of honest conversation, genuine connection, and some big questions about the technology we’re all living with.
This year’s theme is AI. Not the hype, not the sales pitch, but the real debate. Is ethical AI actually possible? And what does it mean for the kind of human-centred, ecologically-sustainable work we do?
We’re kicking things off with a panel of expert speakers, then opening the floor. The afternoon is yours: unconference sessions shaped by the people in the room, lightning talks, and the kind of conversations that don’t happen at corporate conferences.
Come ready to think, disagree, and leave with something useful.
