Mims Davies MP was thrilled to host another of her famous Business Breakfasts - this time with the focus on AI and Marketing sponsored by Bluebell Marketing.
We were joined by so many brilliant businesses from across Mid Sussex and were lucky to have the below businesses speaking on AI and Marketing:
- Barney Durrant - Bluebell Marketing
- Simon Hughes - Mid Sussex District Council
- Darren Greenaway - The Greenaway Foundation
Earlier this week the PM unveiled £29.5 billion of new investment for thriving UK sectors, at the Global Investment Summit at Hampton Court Palace.
In October 2023, the Government published a paper on the capabilities and risks from frontier AI. Frontier AI can perform a wide variety of tasks, is being augmented with tools to enhance its capabilities, and is being increasingly integrated into systems that can have a wide impact on the economy and society.
Although these models still have major limitations such as their factuality and reliability, their current capabilities are impressive, may be greater than governments and scientists have been able to assess, and have appeared faster than expected.
As the Prime Minister said in a recent speech on AI, the UK has a global responsibility to understand and address the risks surrounding AI, in order to realise all its benefits and opportunities for future generations.
In April 2023, Mims supported the announcement from the Prime Minister and Technology Secretary sharing £100 million in start-up funding for the Foundation Model Taskforce, now known as the UK’s Frontier AI Taskforce. The taskforce’s core mission is to support the safe and reliable development and deployment of AI foundation models in the public and private sectors to improve UK capabilities in this transformative technology, and to evaluate the risks posed by the rapidly advancing frontier of AI.
Mims Davies MP said:
"I was delighted to host another one of my Business Breakfasts for our local hard working businesses.
It's always such a pleasure to host local businesses and provide them with the opportunity to network with one another and grow their connections in a friendly environment.
I recognise how difficult it has been for all businesses recently, particularly small business, and I was very pleased to host a relaxed and engaging business breakfast where local business owners can share useful experiences, discuss how they can work together to resolve mutual challenges and enjoy themselves!
A huge thank you to all the businesses that came and joined us - and you can't go wrong with some fantastic pastries, fruit platters, coffee and juice by the East Grinstead Rugby and Football Club.
I look forward to hosting more similar events in the future."
