Events at Bristol Digital Futures Institute
Building better digital futures for all
Professor Colin Gavaghan hosted an informative and lively discussion about law and regulation in the changing AI landscape, titled ‘Move fast and mend things: making good rules for fast changing tech’.
The discussion covered regulation and the use of existing laws, whether law is always needed to fix an issue, and a checklist for making any new laws.
Thank you to Professor Richard Owen for chairing the event.

Our BDFI co-director Professor Daniel Neyland hosted a fascinating and informative lecture about the ethics around artificial intelligence. ‘Do pixels have feelings too?’ looked at neural networks for emotional recognition, and questioned how ethics can be designed into this aspect of AI.
Daniel was joined by the BDFI co-director Professor Dimitra Simeonidou and together they hosted a lively Q&A event after the lecture.
BDFI’s new home also played host to drinks and refreshments as part of a networking event. It was wonderful to see so many people attend the event in person and stay to meet with colleagues and partners.
