Every organisation in Wales is asking the same question – what should we actually do with AI? You don't have to work it out alone. AI Wales is the National Centre for Artificial Intelligence in Wales, a not-for-profit community founded in 2018 with more than 2,200 members. Meet them at over 25 events a year, from Cardiff and Swansea to Newport, Wrexham and North Wales. Five sector councils bring the specialists together – fintech, cybersecurity, manufacturing, energy and agriculture. And CPD certified training takes you from strategy to skills. AI Pathfinder for leadership teams and AI Champions to grow your own AI lead. Membership is free. Join the AI Wales community at www.aiwales.org.
