Through my career in artificial intelligence, I’ve seen its immense potential to transform the world for the better. In the next few years, we will undoubtedly see fascinating and impactful applications of AI that will have a profound impact on our lives, society and the planet. That’s why I’m delighted to joina the Manchester Prize as chair of judges. I look forward to seeing the creativity this new annual prize stimulates, rewarding UK-led AI innovations that work for public good. But I also hope it fosters wide discussion and diverse thinking about this emerging field of technology. Science and technology are at their best when multiple perspectives and ideas come together. Encouraging that innovation and collaboration is the aim of the Manchester Prize, and I can’t wait to see who enters.
