About this event

Join us on 12 October 2026 for a thought-provoking lecture from Lord Simon Woolley, Principal of Homerton College, University of Cambridge, one of the UK's leading voices on equality, social justice, and democratic participation.

Lord Woolley will explore one of the defining questions of our time. As artificial intelligence rapidly transforms how we live, learn and work, who stands to benefit from this technological revolution and how can we ensure the opportunities it creates are shared fairly across society?

Drawing on his extensive experience as an educator, campaigner and public leader, Lord Woolley will examine the challenges and possibilities AI presents for education, employment, democracy and social justice. This promises to be a fascinating and timely discussion that will leave audiences reflecting on the future we are creating and our collective responsibility to shape it.
