Artificial Intelligence (AI) is undeniably one of the hottest topics of the decade. However, to move beyond the hype, AI requires the collective efforts of innovators, academics, policymakers, and startups to ask the right questions and address the most pressing challenges. Recognising this need, French Tech London is hosting a groundbreaking symposium that brings together some of the brightest minds in AI and healthcare. The event aims to delve into the transformative potential of AI and spark meaningful discussions on its applications, limitations, and future impact.

The symposium will take place at the iconic Science Museum in London on Wednesday, 29th January, featuring an impressive line-up of speakers and guests. Attendees can look forward to engaging discussions centred around critical questions: What can AI do, and what can’t it do? What changes will AI bring by 2030? What do consumers really want, and what risks should we anticipate?

A keynote speaker with a unique perspective

The keynote address will be delivered by Sarah de Lagarde, a trailblazer who describes herself as "80% human and 20% bionic." Her personal journey, combined with her extensive knowledge of AI’s role in healthcare, promises to offer a compelling and thought-provoking narrative. Sarah’s story exemplifies the intersection of human resilience and technological innovation, making her an ideal voice to kick off the event.

The symposium will feature panel discussions with an array of renowned experts and thought leaders in AI. Each panellist will bring unique insights into the revolutionary role AI is playing in transforming healthcare and shaping our future. Confirmed speakers include:

  • Jean-Baptiste Masson, Head of Decision & Bayesian Computation AI Lab at Institut Pasteur: With expertise in computational biology and advanced modelling, Jean-Baptiste will explore how Bayesian computation and AI are unlocking new frontiers in healthcare research, driving breakthroughs in areas like diagnostics and drug discovery.
