Hosted by UKAI

Explore how organisations can demonstrate trustworthy AI in practice at UKAI’s free, invite-only report launch in Central London on 29 October 2026. From AI principles to practical trust Taking place from 6pm to 8.30pm GMT in Central London, this VIP drinks reception marks the release of Trustworthy AI: From Principles to Practice, A Framework for Innovation, Accountability and Adoption. The report has been produced by UKAI in partnership with Capgemini and shaped by a roundtable of senior leaders spanning financial services, legal, data and compliance. Rather than focusing only on AI regulation, it examines a wider and increasingly important question: what makes AI trustworthy, and how can organisations demonstrate that trust in practice? Attendees will receive an early look at the report’s findings and hear from contributors involved in its development. The evening will explore the intersection of responsible innovation, accountability and AI adoption, offering useful context for organisations seeking to turn high-level trust principles into credible working practices. What to expect - A first look at findings from the new UKAI and Capgemini report - Insights from contributors who helped shape the work - Drinks and informal networking in a Central London setting - Opportunities to meet UKAI members and professionals advancing the AI trust agenda - Discussion around AI governance, adoption, innovation and accountability This is a reception and report launch rather than a hands-on workshop. Its informal format is designed to support conversation and relationship-building among people dealing with the practical and strategic implications of trustworthy AI. The event is particularly relevant to senior leaders, AI governance and compliance professionals, legal and data specialists, financial services practitioners, innovators, and decision-makers responsible for adopting AI within organisations. It will also appeal to UKAI members and report contributors who want to connect with peers working at the frontier of responsible AI. View the event and registration details
