PRINCETON, NJ, UNITED STATES, October 21, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- London to Host the AE Global Summit on Open Problems for AI
28–30th October 2025 | Thinking About Thinking
London will be the epicentre of the global AI debate this autumn, as Thinking About Thinking hosts the AE Global Summit on Open Problems for AI from 28–30th October 2025.
Over three days, more than 1,000 participants will gather — including researchers, policymakers, founders, investors, and artists — to address the unresolved challenges of intelligence: from algorithmic breakthroughs and infrastructure, to safety and governance, to entrepreneurship and application for social good in the age of AGI.
Rolling Stone has described Thinking About Thinking’s sister event, Neuromonster, as “The Burning Man of Brain Science.” The AE Global Summit builds on that reputation, offering a rare forum where world-class science, pragmatic governance, and cultural inquiry converge.
Headline Programme
Day 1: AI Research Breakthroughs & Infrastructure
Featuring senior scientists from DeepMind, Meta, Oxford University, NVIDIA, NSCALE, and UCL, with panels on the next generation of AI algorithms and the infrastructure required to sustain them.
Day 2: AI Safety, Enterprise & Society
Bringing together AISI, ElevenLabs, Faculty AI, HSBC, the Tony Blair Institute, and Bernstein Insights to explore the frameworks and safeguards needed to build AI systems that generate sustainable value in enterprise and society.
Day 3: AI Entrepreneurship & Application
Anchored by the flagship panel “How to Build a Trillion-Pound AI Company,” convening some of the most influential figures at the intersection of capital, code, and scale:
- Harry Stebbings – Founder, 20VC
- Kanishka Narayn MP – Minister for AI and Online Safety
- Dr Trias Gkikopoulos – Innovation Lead Robotics & AI, Innovate UK
- Emily Turner – CEO HSBC Innovation Banking
This session will ask whether the UK has the talent, infrastructure, and financing to build the next generation of trillion-pound AI companies — and what is needed to compete on the global stage.
Partners and Sponsors
The Summit is supported by leading institutions from across research, policy, and industry.
Partners: Innovate UK, Faculty AI, The Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, London AI Hub
Gold Sponsors: Cudo Compute, XTX Markets, NSCALE
Silver Sponsors: HSBC, Deep Green, Cooley LLP, CoreWeave
This convergence underscores the UK’s role as a centre for both AI innovation and AI governance.
Why London, Why Now
Dr Ruairidh McLennan Battleday, CEO of Thinking About Thinking, said:
“The UK is at a pivotal moment in AI. We have the research talent, we have the policy urgency, and we have the opportunity to scale new institutions of real consequence. This Summit is designed to bring pragmatically oriented stakeholders into the same room — not to trade soundbites, but to think rigorously about the open problems that matter.”
Sessions will take place across central London venues, alongside a startup expo fair, networking events, and partner-led sessions at UCL and other neighbouring institutions.
