Exploring the developments and deployments of AI in Sheffield
Talking AI is Sheffield Digital’s campaign to shine a light on the rapid and pioneering developments and deployments of AI in our city.
Through a curated programme of articles, podcasts, case studies, events and conversations, we’ll explore how AI is transforming businesses, products and professional practice across Sheffield’s digital tech ecosystem. We’ll also examine the wider opportunities, challenges and implications of AI for our economy and society.
Bringing together perspectives from founders, engineers, educators, policymakers and industry experts, Talking AI is a platform to share knowledge, ask difficult questions and showcase the innovation happening right here in Sheffield.
Whether you’re building AI products, adopting AI within your organisation or simply trying to understand what it means for the future of work, we hope you’ll find something here to inform and inspire.
Get involved
We’re always looking for new stories, ideas and perspectives.
Have you developed an AI product or service? Used AI to transform your business? Do you have a case study, opinion piece or experience to share? We’d love to hear from you.
If you’d like to contribute to the campaign, contact comms@sheffield.digital with details of your idea. You can also join the conversation on LinkedIn using #TalkingAISheffield, where we’ll be amplifying AI news, insights and stories from across the Sheffield tech community.
