Everyone is talking about AI. Let’s talk about what actually works.

Join us on 1 October for the Ipsos I&O AI Symposium, The Human Edge in an AI-Powered World.

AI is rapidly changing how organisations generate insights and make decisions. From synthetic data and AI-powered moderation to audience testing and communications optimisation, new applications emerge almost daily.

Yet key questions remain: What works in practice? Which tasks can be entrusted to AI, and where is human judgement critical?

Through real-world case studies, experts from academia, business, the public sector and the research industry will share practical applications, lessons learned, and their vision for the future.

  • Manuel Garcia-Garcia | Professor of Neuroscience, Global Lead of Science Activation at Ipsos, and author of Smarter Together: How We Think, Feel and Decide with AI
