Connectionists: AI Research Summit in London that I hope is of interest! To forward if so...

[Battleday, Ruairidh]

Dear Colleagues,

A pleasure to reach out. It would be a great help if you could share the
below email with your network, as we believe it will be of interest.

Our non-profit, run by early stage AI researchers, has organised a Summit
on Open Problems in AI that features many of the UK's leading thinkers and
institutions:

We are hoping this Summit becomes a little like a local neurIPS, and have
arranged the keynotes accordingly. Next year we will bring in poster and
spotlight sessions for researchers.

We would love to see some of you there! We have priced the tickets as low
as possible, including a lower price for students and researchers, and have
a few "Super Early Bird" tickets remaining for researchers (sold out for
Students).

In more detail:

*Super-Early-Bird registration is nearly sold out for the AE Global Summit
on Open Problems for AI (28–30th Oct, London, Kings X / Euston)!*

Over three days, we will bring together more than 1,000 researchers,
policymakers, engineers, entrepreneurs, and artists to discuss the most
important open problems in AI, and how we might solve them.
