Bristol AI Ethics - October 2026

Bristol AI Ethics' monthly evening on how AI is actually being used and where that goes wrong. The running order is fixed and brisk: arrivals and networking from 6pm, a monthly news roundup at 6:30, the main talk at 6:50, Q&A and open discussion at 7:20, drinks at 7:35, and a Positive Actions slot at 7:50 where the room commits to something concrete. Wraps by 8pm, with the building open for talk until 8:30. Hosted at Torchbox on the third floor of 15 Colston Street - buzzer at the door, lift or stairs. Free. The October talk was still listed as TBC when we checked. 50 people are signed up and the event is full, with 9 on the waitlist. Why go: the Positive Actions slot is what separates this from the usual AI-worry panel - people leave with something to do. Best for anyone shipping AI into products who wants the ethics conversation held by practitioners rather than commentators.
