Our mission

Bringing people together

Drawing inspiration from Enlightenment-era intellectual gatherings, we unite researchers, policymakers, and thought leaders in AI Safety. Through purposefully designed interaction spaces, our aim is to accelerate AIS research, catalyse unexpected collaborations, and foster a culture of ambition, curiosity, and debate.

Empowering AI Safety researchers

UK AI Forum is proud to host Research Accelerator Weeks (RAW), which serve as launchpads to impactful research in AI Safety. We help researchers generate ideas, form teams, and - crucially - get funded, fast. You can find out more about RAW here.

We also run:

• Conferences

• Speaker series

• Research dinners

• Social events

Serendipity as strategy

At the core, our mission is to cultivate serendipity through a variety of different event and programme formats. We recognise that many breakthrough ideas emerge from chance encounters, unexpected conversations, and the collision of diverse perspectives. UK AI Forum deliberately designs spaces and interactions that maximise these valuable opportunities.
