Secure| Britain's data

Every AI system is only as good, as safe and as trustworthy as the data beneath it. The UKAI Data and AI Summit asks a central question: can the UK lead the world in data? Bringing together data leaders, AI builders, public bodies and regulators in London, this summit will explore how the UK can build the standards, interoperability and secure infrastructure needed to unlock the value of its data, while protecting privacy and strengthening data sovereignty. As agentic AI begins to act on our behalf, questions of data ownership and control have never mattered more.

What we'll cover|

01

Can the UK lead in data?

The UK holds some of the world's richest data assets, from health and public services to finance and research. We will examine what it takes to turn those assets into national advantage: the infrastructure, investment, policy and partnerships required. Sessions will explore data sovereignty and why the UK needs the ability to store, govern and benefit from its own data, ensuring the value it creates stays with British businesses, citizens and public services.

02

Standards, interoperability and security

Data that cannot be shared safely cannot be used well. We will look at the standards and interoperability frameworks that allow data to move securely between organisations and sectors, and the UK's opportunity to help set those standards internationally. Data security will be a core thread, covering resilience against cyber threats, secure data environments and how organisations can build AI on foundations that customers, regulators and the public can trust.

03

Privacy, ownership and the agentic era

As AI agents increasingly access, combine and act on data for individuals and organisations, the questions of who owns data, who controls it and who is accountable become urgent. We will explore privacy-preserving technologies, consent models, personal data rights and the governance needed for agentic AI. The focus is on responsible, trustworthy approaches that protect people while enabling the innovation that agentic systems promise.
