Join us as we begin day two of the 2nd Annual Global AI Conference 2026. The morning opens with a brief welcome before we dive into an inspiring keynote session to set the tone for another day of learning, collaboration and innovation.

09:00 - 09:05 Opening remarks, Chaired by Professor Owen Arthurs, AI Conference Committee Chair 

09:05 Keynote: To be announced

AI holds great potential for digital transformation in healthcare. How does one make a start in leading effective AI research, development and deployment. We hear insights from a number of clinicians who have been accepted into AI fellowships to enjoy their successes and learn from things that didn’t work out.

The integration of imaging data with other data sources is an incredibly fast moving space, driven by the expansion of foundation models for healthcare data and powerful large language models. In this session we will hear an update from research and commercial domains on what is state of the art for multimodal data processing with AI.

Patient’s understanding of AI and its role is constantly evolving as we encounter it in different aspects of our life. In this session we'll focus our understanding on who is the intended beneficiary of AI technology, and what outcomes do we hope to achieve. We bring in perspectives from global cancer control to the ethical considerations of AI.

09:05 Keynote: To be announced

The UK's regulatory landscape for AI medical devices is evolving rapidly. Join Marinos Ioannides, Head of Software and AI Medical Devices Regulation at MHRA, alongside expert panelists for an insider's perspective on the latest updates to UK MDR for AI as a Medical Device (AIaMD).

Join this interactive panel discussion to unpack what these changes mean for manufacturers, clinicians, and healthcare systems. From pre-market requirements to post-market surveillance, you'll discover how the MHRA is adapting regulation to match AI's unique challenges. There will be an opportunity to engage directly with our experts shaping the future of AI medical device oversight. Bring your questions for a dynamic discussion.

How do we build AI policy that balances innovation with protection? In this session, Lord Holmes explores the critical challenge of creating trustworthy AI frameworks that serve society. A panel debate will follow, examining the policies and governance structures needed for safe, effective AI deployment in healthcare and beyond.

From legislative priorities to practical implementation, you'll hear how policymakers, regulators, and clinicians are collaborating together to shape AI's future. Join the conversation on building public trust while enabling transformational technology to flourish responsibly.

Traditional regulatory frameworks weren't built for technologies that learn and evolve. This session explores how regulatory science itself must innovate to keep pace with AI. Hear insights from CERSI-AI (Centers of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation for AI) and the National Commission on AI Regulation as they pioneer new methodologies for evaluating algorithmic systems.

You'll learn how cutting-edge research is informing evidence standards, validation approaches, and assessment frameworks specifically designed for AI's unique characteristics. From adaptive trial designs to real-world performance monitoring, you'll explore the scientific innovations reshaping how we evaluate and oversee AI technologies in healthcare.

Beyond automation - this session explores the next frontier of agentic AI systems capable of autonomous decision-making and adaptive learning, and how they could safely transform healthcare delivery, regulation, and accountability.

Discover how AI can streamline complex clinical pathways, from image analysis to data integration, enabling more efficient multidisciplinary working and freeing clinicians to focus on patient-centred decisions.

AI innovation demands robust foundations. Experts share how scalable, secure and interoperable infrastructure, from federated datasets to clinical data platforms, underpins safe, effective, and equitable AI deployment across health systems.
