SUMMARY:Tech Leaders Meeting: Unlock the Power of AI
DESCRIPTION:This event is organised by Nigel Wright in collaboration with t
 he National Edge AI Hub.\n\nUnlock the Power of AI: From Everyday Tasks to
  High-Stakes Industries &amp\; Beyond!\n\nDiscover how to move generative 
 AI from buzzword to business advantage with practical techniques you can i
 mplement now. Hear about real-world case studies and learn to structure pr
 ompts like a pro.\n\nExplore the cutting edge of AI in critical fields! Le
 arn how large context windows and specialised AI models are transforming c
 omplex workflows in high-stakes industries\, balancing speed with accuracy
  and compliance.\n\nFinally\, confront the crucial questions of cybersecur
 ity and AI safety in an increasingly tricky digital world. Understand the 
 urgent need for rigorous testing and dedicated environments to ensure the 
 trustworthiness and resilience of tomorrow's technologies.\n\nDon't miss t
 his opportunity to gain practical insights and a balanced perspective on t
 he future of AI!\n\nSpeakers for this event:\n\nArmin Talić\, Co-founder 
 &amp\; Facilitator at Frontier Training\n\nRob Boville \, Co-Founder Beart
 ech &amp\; Automate Legal\n\nProfessor Raj Ranjan\, Director of the Nation
 al Edge AI Hub\n\nThe event will take place on the 11th of June from 9:30
   to 11:30 AM at The National Edge AI Hub office located in Newcastle Uni
 versity's Urban Sciences Building (Ground Floor)\, 1 Science Square\, Newc
 astle upon Tyne NE4 5TG\n\nOutlines of talks:\n\nArmin Talić\, Co-founder
  &amp\; Facilitator at Frontier Training\n\nArmin Talić will demystify ho
 w generative AI can move from novelty to everyday advantage at work. Drawi
 ng on real-world case studies\, he will show step-by-step techniques for s
 tructuring prompts\, iteratively refining conversations\, and anchoring AI
  output to clear business goals. The session will culminate in a live walk
 through of building a lightweight “custom GPT\,” illustrating how even
  non-technical teams can encapsulate expertise and accelerate routine know
 ledge work. Armin will close by unpacking the data-privacy and security tr
 ade-offs between using public cloud models and deploying private\, offline
  LLMs... equipping attendees with practical templates and a balanced view 
 of the questions to ask before adopting either approach.\n\nProfessor Raj 
 Ranjan\, Director of the National Edge AI Hub\n\nProfessor Ranjan will be 
 giving a talk on the growing challenges of cybersecurity and the increasin
 g prevalence of cyber-disturbances in complex real-world systems\, with a 
 particular focus on emerging issues in AI safety. The talk will underline 
 the urgent need for rigorous testing before technologies are widely deploy
 ed and explore why dedicated environments are essential for examining how 
 advanced systems behave under stress\, failure\, or misuse. Professor Ranj
 an will argue that such infrastructure is critical for ensuring the develo
 pment of resilient and trustworthy technologies in an increasingly volatil
 e digital landscape.\n\nRob Boville \, Co-Founder Beartech &amp\; Automate
  Legal\n\nRob will share some of the work they’re doing at BearTech and 
 Automate Legal\, particularly around using large context windows and domai
 n-specific LLMs to transform legal workflows. The talk will focus on the p
 racticalities of deploying AI in high-stakes industries like law — balan
 cing accuracy\, compliance\, and speed — and walk through real examples 
 where they’ve replaced manual drafting with AI-driven systems\, touching
  on how to approach responsible AI deployment\, including data security an
 d IP protection in regulated sectors.
