About this event
Join the SOAS London Alumni Group at the Junior Common Room (JCR) on campus.
London alumni are invited to come together on campus for a short discussion on 'Peace Innovation, Inclusion and the AI Divide' led by fellow SOASian Dr Ashiyan Ian Rahmani. Following his presentation, there will be an open discussion on the role AI is playing on development and how best we ensure the inclusion of diverse voices of those often under-represented to better ensure an inclusive future for all. Following the presentation and discussion, we invite you to the newly refurbished SOAS bar.
The event is also a fantastic opportunity to network, connect with fellow SOAS alumni, and explore how you can engage with SOAS.
