US-AI!
Tony Reeves
Lead Partner, Digital Defence, Deloitte
Unprecedented times. The Government wants the UK to be pre-eminent in AI. But..
Tonight, Tony will consider US-AI! Using AI as a strategic instrument of power.
As the US constrains access to AI tools and infrastructure, and other countries vie to enter or win the AI arms race, how will the UK shape its AI capabilities?
This event will look at the true costs to create national AI capabilities, the possible impact on national productivity, and whether the UK is destined to be an AI follower or leader.
Welcome back our No1 AI guru -Tony Reeves

He encourages faster adoption of new thinking, while warning of the potential risks created by digital transformation and disruptive technologies.
He is a keen advocate for the need to change our mindsets, not our toolsets, to achieve critical advantages over adversaries and competitors, who increasingly realise their technological benefits at a quicker pace.

Tony shaped future UK battlefield C4ISR solutions aligning future technological options with commercial approaches across sectors, before joining Microsoft to develop ethical technologies, including AI and mixed realities.
He is now Deloitte UK Partner for Digital Defence, leading on AI adoption with UK MOD, exploiting big data, and digitising delivery operations.
