2026 AI & Social Justice Collider

An interactive workshop with industry, academics, students and alumni exploring the ethical complexities of AI adoption.

Can we harness AI's power without losing what matters most?

At this AI & Social Justice Collider event, students, industry leaders, and academics will come together to tackle this challenge. Through three short, thought-provoking talks and interactive table discussions, you'll collaborate to develop practical solutions.

What to expect

Fast-paced ideas, open discussion, and meaningful collaboration across disciplines. You'll work in mixed teams to explore how organisations can use AI responsibly while upholding ethics, protecting creative ownership, and the planet.

This is an opportunity to network with likeminded peers and help shape how AI can be used responsibly.
