Where research and governance meet.
An exclusive two-day forum at the intersection of AI ethics, regulatory policy and corporate governance. Researchers at the forefront of the field, regulators setting the standard, and the organisations and in-house leaders who must meet both — in one room.
AI regulation is not a future problem. The ICO, FCA and PRA are already asking for evidence of governance. The EU AI Act's final transition deadline is August 2027 — three months after this forum. The organisations that will be in the best position are the ones working on this now.
Most AI ethics events are built for people who find the topic interesting. The AIP Summit is built for people who are legally responsible for it. There is a meaningful difference, and it shows in the room.
Places are strictly limited. The room contains researchers at the forefront of AI ethics and accountability, the regulators who will enforce the standards, and the in-house teams — General Counsel, Chief AI Officers, risk and compliance leaders — who must demonstrate compliance.
Starling Nexus produces this forum under its AIP Conferences brand — Academia-Industry Partnership. AIP stands for Academia-Industry Partnership: the conviction that the most useful AI governance research only becomes practice when the people producing it and the people accountable for it work together directly. Every Starling Nexus AIP event is built on that principle.
AI agents are booking meetings, drafting contracts and making decisions across UK organisations right now. There is no regulatory guidance on who is responsible when something goes wrong. The organisations thinking clearly about this now will be significantly better placed when regulators eventually do publish one.
Most employees in knowledge-based organisations are using AI tools that IT and legal have never approved. This is not a future problem — it is a present one. Boards are asking questions and the ICO is watching. How do you govern what you cannot see?
The ICO has been clear: policies are not evidence. The research community has developed methodology for measuring whether AI governance actually works. Most organisations deploying AI at scale have never seriously engaged with it. This session brings the two sides of that conversation into the same room.
Start a night early.
