At this market briefing, we will discuss the growth of technology and its economic success, exploring how the revolution of science continues to this day and its relevance to the insurance market.

Description

Computers, Smartphones and Alexa may be the norm in modern society, but technological development started long before the first mobile phone. It was American scientist Alan Kay who said “The best way to predict the future is to invent it” and over 400 years ago, London was fast becoming a hub of development. In 1660, the City attracted innovators such as Sir Christopher Wren, Robert Boyle and Sir William Petty who initially founded the Royal Society, to champion new ways of thinking.

At this market briefing, not only will you have the chance to meet a friendly robot, we will discuss the rapid pace of technological change and consider examples of technological success. We will explore how the revolution of science continues to this day and how we can compare and learn from ye olde hi-tech of yesterday to inform for our future and tomorrow’s working environment.

As well as our speaker from the IUA Developing Technology Monitoring Group (DTMG), we welcome Tim Warrington, CEO, from Warrington Robotics Ltd and hear how a humble vacuum cleaner became an AI success.

The market briefing will conclude with an interactive robotic demonstration.
