Ditchley Science and Technology Group Discussion, Spring 2026
The Ditchley Science and Technology Group briefings serve as a forum to evaluate the strategic implications of emerging technologies, with the Spring 2026 edition building on our recent work on global security threats, the societal impacts of artificial intelligence, and the role of middle powers in an era of strategic competition. To help shape Ditchley's future agenda and inform upcoming initiatives—such as strategies for scaling British innovation—the session explores the broader trajectory of AI and its effects on economies and nation-states, featuring a contributing conversation with LinkedIn co-founder and AI investor Reid Hoffman.
