Overview
The Algorithmic Innovation & Entrepreneurship (AE) Global Summit is Thinking About Thinking’s flagship public forum, convening researchers, engineers, policymakers, founders, venture, and students to examine open problems in artificial intelligence and the sciences of intelligence.
Hosted at Friends House in London, the Summit brings together disciplines that rarely share the same room, creating space for rigorous conversation across science, institutions, and society. We bring together exceptional people to help build the AI startups that will power our societies future.
Across three days, participants engage with foundational questions about how intelligence is understood, built, deployed, and governed—and how those decisions shape the world beyond research labs.
