When business-critical software can be built in hours, what happens to organisations designed to make decisions in months? And if AI expands our capacity tenfold or more, how do we decide what is worth doing? <\/strong><\/p>\n

These questions ran through the Enterprise AI Summit, hosted by IT Revolution in partnership with Newton, which brought more than 170 people from defence, healthcare, policing, infrastructure, government and retail to Bletchley Park on 2\u20133 November.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bletchley Park brought people together to crack a complexity no single mind could solve alone and our first expert speaker of the day, Jacqueline de Rojas CBE, Chair of the Bletchley Park Trust and President of Digital Leaders, set the tone drawing comparisons with the 9,000 people who came to Bletchley during the Second World War to break encrypted enemy communications at speed and scale. The aim was a different kind of AI event, with speakers chosen for what they have delivered rather than their title, and with every talk covering what was tried, what worked, what failed and what it cost.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The atmosphere was lively from the start. Speakers were open about what had failed and what it had cost and each closed by naming what they wanted help with from the room. They stayed after their talks and joined the conversations that followed. Delegates from very different sectors used a shared challenge to ask each other for advice and insight they would not normally find in their own networks.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n \n\n\n
