On Thursday 19th October, Exeter Initiative for Science and Technology (ExIST) will be taking a closer look at AI and Robotics, focusing on emerging technologies, the sector’s impact on the workplace and the implications and effects of both on workplace and education needs currently and in the future.

Confirmed speakers for October’s quarterly event will include; Kate Doodson, Joint Chief Executive of Cosmic, David Ferguson, Head of Digital Innovation at EDF and John Laramy, Principal at Exeter College.

Robert McIlwraith, chairman of ExIST, said “Our third event of 2017 will be covering a fantastic topic with a superb line up of speakers. AI and robotics is increasingly making its way into the day to day processes of companies and it’s exciting to know that this is happening in Exeter and the South West. We are pleased to have such a great array of speakers for the October event and encourage anyone with a business focus in science and technology as well as an interest in the future development of Exeter to come to the event.”
