Brazen AI: Small, Smart and Good for Bristol

A panel on whether Bristol can lead on AI in a way that matches the city's politics rather than just its compute. Bristol already hosts Isambard-AI, one of the world's most energy-efficient supercomputers, and the question here is what that should mean for everyone else.

Charity and social-purpose leaders, researchers and technologists discuss early findings on what stops social-purpose organisations adopting smaller, lower-impact language models, what the sector sees as the risks and opportunities, and how one Bristol charity uses AI day to day. Annie Legge, CEO of Tech4Good SW, is on the panel. At The Station, 16:00 to 17:00, part of Brazen.

Why go: small-model adoption is where cost, carbon and capability actually meet, and this is the rare room asking charities rather than vendors. Best for anyone deploying AI on a tight budget.
