Inspiration Exchange: Genies – Next-Generation AI-Agents

Ever wondered what a real AI agent could do to empower you?

Join us to explore our vision of next-generation AI-Agents: Genies. What we will be talking about is an AI that thinks, learns, and co-creates with us. Imagine an AI partner that evolves over time, organises your ideas, and spots opportunities you never saw. Less of an “assistant,” more like a“collaborator.”

Here’s what our vision of Genies can do:

Innovation – Generating ideas and fostering novel solutions

Operation – Planning and implementing complex tasks and projects

Validation – Ensuring high standards and validating outcomes

Evolution – Continuously learning and adapting through interaction

Empowerment – Enhancing human abilities and productivity

Sounds exciting? In our upcoming Inspiration Exchange session, join us as Prof Mihaela van der Schaar will share her vision for how Genies can transform the way we engage with AI in healthcare.

Date: 3 April
Time: 16:00 – 17:00 (BST)
Location: Online (for the link sign up here)

We are excited to be joined by:

Prof Russ Altman (Stanford University)

Dr Shakir Mohamed (Google Deepmind)
