​Panel discussion on current developments in AI governance, emerging directions, and career pathways in the field.

​Join the Orion AI Governance Initiative for an evening exploring how frontier AI systems are being governed, regulated, and shaped by the policy decisions happening right now, and what this means for future careers in AI governance.

​Our expert panellists will share perspectives on both the high-level policy debates and the practical realities of translating policies into workable governance frameworks for emerging AI technologies. The discussion will cover recent developments, the UK’s positioning in this rapidly evolving landscape, and offer practical insights for those considering careers in this space.

​This event is designed for anyone curious about the intersection of cutting-edge AI technology and policy, whether you’re a student interested in AI governance, considering a career pivot, or simply want to understand how decisions are being made about the AI systems shaping our world. No prior expertise required, just genuine curiosity about the questions that matter.
