UK-US Bridge - Ethical AI: Safer and Faster Innovation in Healthy Brain Ageing

This virtual event hosted at the Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing, Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, King's College London and NIHR HealthTech Research Centre for Brain Health, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, is designed for clinical innovators, HealthTech founders, visionary investors and R&D leaders in the UK, EU and US.

Streaming from 16:00 BST / 11:00 EDT (and recorded for on-demand playback), this transatlantic session explores how ethical AI can accelerate innovation in cognitive care and healthy ageing. It brings together industry leaders in artificial intelligence, longevity, and innovation.

Co-hosted by Ageing Research at King’s (ARK), and OPORA Health, the event will highlight cutting-edge UK HealthTech opportunities and foster global collaboration between academic, clinical, and technology partners. Together, we can build a new open-source framework for AI-supported prevention and care, designed to reduce harm, increase trust and equity, and empower innovation at scale.

We appreciate support from the Longevity Science Foundation, a non-profit organisation based in Miami, Florida supporting global longevity research including in healthy brain ageing.
