What's Hot in Tech: Emerging Technology and the Human-AI Interface

Artificial Intelligence is no longer a future concept - it's already changing how we work, learn, communicate, create and make decisions.

But as technology evolves at an unprecedented pace, important questions remain. How should humans and AI work together? Where does technology add value, and where does human judgement remain essential? What emerging technologies should we be paying attention to now, and how will they shape the future of work, innovation and society?

Join Women 4 STEM for the next instalment of our popular What's Hot in Tech series as we explore the rapidly evolving relationship between people and technology.

This thought-provoking evening will bring together industry leaders, technology experts and innovators to discuss the latest developments in artificial intelligence, emerging technologies, human-centred design, automation, ethics, workforce transformation and the future of human-AI collaboration.

Whether you're a technology professional, business leader, student, researcher or simply curious about what comes next, this event will provide valuable insights into one of the most important conversations shaping our future.
