The Trust Gap: What Britain really thinks about AI

As Europe gathers for the Apply AI Summit, the EU is shifting its focus from writing AI rules to driving adoption. It has already delayed key high-risk AI rules to December 2027. But adoption depends on public consent, and the polling suggests that cannot be taken for granted. A King’s College London study this spring found 57% of Britons think AI will lead to widespread unemployment, while two-thirds want AI companies closely regulated, even if it slows development. 

This event will set out what the latest polling shows about where voters see opportunity and risk, and who they trust. We’ll ask what it means for policymakers and industry, and whether Britain should follow the EU or the US, or chart its own course. Join us for a frank conversation on how to close the trust gap and win public consent for AI.
