Sophie McIvor is the Director of Communications and Engagement at the Alan Turing Institute, the UK’s national institute for data science and artificial intelligence. She has been in the role since the Institute opened in 2015 and is spearheading its new strategy focused on public engagement with AI.

In this episode of Research Comms we discuss why the public needs to be engaging with emerging technologies like AI, how people have more power than they think when it comes to influencing the progression of such technologies, and the importance of participatory research.
