First Thursday: The AI-powered startup

  • The Innovation Centre Broad Quay Bath, England, BA1 1UD United Kingdom (map)

The AI bubble may be approaching the peak of the hype curve, but there are still dramatic productivity benefits to be gained - if you know how to connect and apply the tools now available. Could building your first MVP take an afternoon on your own, rather than three months with a development team? And if so, how would that change the way you engage with your early customers?

Of course, AI isn’t magic - the rule of “Garbage In, Garbage Out” still applies. Tools can carry in-built biases and may not be watertight in protecting your valuable IP. So what should today’s startup founder keep in mind as they harness this new wave of development power?

We’ve invited a panel of experts who have been working with AI for several years to explore what’s possible, where the risks lie, and what you can realistically expect from your AI-powered startup.
