SUMMARY:Developing the future UK tech sector through open source contributions
DESCRIPTION:As the UK seeks to become the next Silicon Valley it faces the challenge of a skills gap. Talent flight and migration has always attracted UK talent to the US. Whilst this is typical of all countries a common language has made this more apparent in respect of UK talent. \nOpen source software offers individuals based anywhere in the UK with a device\, connectivity\, and basic education in tech the opportunity to develop and hone their skills through code and other contributions to open source projects. \nAs they contribute to projects they build a living CV on GitHub etc. This and their progress can be seen by users of these projects and GitHub across the planet. \nWith the ability to remote work\, open source employees are based globally and work for top international companies from High Tech to start-ups across the world\, and particularly the Bay Area where open source is best understood as forming the basis of today’s digital world. \nBy building this living CV on GitHub UK-based talent may move from being part of the open source community to employed individuals leveraging the skills they have honed in open source with their global employers. Many will go on to build careers as part of the global tech sector despite remaining in the UK. \nThese individuals crew the open source submarine under the UK’s digital economy and in 2022 27% of UK tech sector Gross Value Add (GVA) came from them and UK based open source companies. This number has the potential to grow to benefit the UK economy whilst at the same time we see talent flight stemmed. \nOpenUK has been building awareness of the UK-based open source businesses and individuals contributing both code and other skills to global open source projects\, products and companies. The UK is number one in Europe in terms of the number of contributors to open source software and lines of code contributed. You can see more in its reports\, particularly its 2023 Skills report\, OpenUK Reports \nFor the agenda\, please register on EventBrite

SUMMARY:Future of AI Summit 2023
DESCRIPTION:5-16 November 2023\nPowering the next business revolution\nIn-Person & Digital | etc Venues\, 155 Bishopsgate\, London | #FTFutureofAI \nDon’t get left behind \nEveryone is talking about AI. The launch of ChatGPT in November 2022\, an easy-to-use interface that generates original content in a matter of seconds\, has crystalised its potential. Advocates predict it will revolutionise business operations\, bring major productivity gains and hard-to-compete-with advantage. Its critics cite ethical concerns\, worries about scaling bias\, and the impact of AI on jobs. Will AI live up to its promise? Discover what all the fuss is about and properly evaluate the AI opportunity at our flagship Future of AI. \nHow is AI being used to boost productivity and profits? Should you invest in AI tech now\, or would it be better to wait? Is it better to develop in-house talent to build AI capability\, collaborate with a specialist AI partner\, or outsource it entirely? How do you achieve company-wide commitment to making AI the backbone of your business? Are your customers ready? Have you got the right governance structures in place? Get the big picture as well as clear lines of sight from early adopters on how best to explain\, apply\, govern\, integrate\, scale\, and commercialise AI\, wherever you are on your AI Journey. \nFeaturing: \nIn conversation: The AI Divide – Will data inequality destroy healthy competition? (16 Nov 2023) \nGenerating AI’s game-changing future products and services requires large quantities of data\, which may create a market problem. How do smaller companies that can’t afford big data sets compete? Are there cheaper ways to develop large language models (LLMs)? \nAmanda Brock\, CEO\, OpenUK \nSeth Dobrin\, Member of the Board\, AI Governance Board\, former Chief AI Officer\, IBM \nModerator: Murad Ahmed\, Technology News Editor\, Financial Times

SUMMARY:We need to talk about open source
DESCRIPTION:If your company is involved in developing software\, then you’re aware of the importance of open-source code. Developers love it! Legal departments fear it! Questions around compliance\, governance\, and the commercial implications of open source are ubiquitous and multi-faceted. \nEnter the era of generative AI\, and open models are competing with proprietary heavyweights. But which will win out in the long term? And does unfettered access to such technologies help\, or hinder\, the drive towards improved safety and equity? \nWe’re ready to open up on open source at our next Codiphy event. \nThis time\, we’ll be focusing on the commercial aspects of using and offering open-source software\, and on the intersection between open source and AI. \nClick the Register button to join us at EIP’s London office for two panel sessions with top voices in the industry. We’ll end the evening with good food\, good company\, and an open (source) cocktail bar.
