Welcome to the Tortoise AI Summit, a new annual gathering of AI experts, policymakers and individuals from around the world. Join us online for a series of conversations that will help shape the role of artificial intelligence in a post-COVID-19 world.

How it works

The summit is an entirely virtual event. You can participate using your phone, tablet, or computer.

Today we’re running a series of video ThinkIns – check the Agenda for the times, speakers and subjects. Plus you can join breakout discussions with other attendees.

To help set the scene, we’ve prepared some notes and data visualisations that explore the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on AI.
