London stands as a key player on the global Artificial Intelligence stage and as it continues to accelerate in its adoption and scale, it is vital that the city's youth are not just spectators but active participants in shaping our AI-driven future. Recognising this, London Hub II are launching a new project - “The Big 5”. This project aims to bring together thought leaders from various sectors – industry, policymaking, academia, and most importantly, the general public, particularly those whose lives are currently, or will be, fundamentally transformed by AI. Our focus encompasses five critical areas - education, climate change, healthcare, employment, and the cost-of-living crisis.

The goal of our project is to stimulate discussions on utilising AI to address these significant issues and identify ways forward to prepare today's youth for a future that effectively harnesses AI.

Short-term Objective: To facilitate meaningful interactions with industry frontrunners (CEOs/Founders), policy architects, academics, and the wider public

Long-term Objective: To create an all-encompassing viewpoint on how the younger generation can leverage artificial intelligence to address the top five key problem areas in London - education, climate change, healthcare, employment, and the cost-of-living crisis

Expected Outputs

• A London Hub II White Paper: A comprehensive document outlining key insights, outcomes, and action points from meetings and events with industry leaders


• The white paper will provide guidance on how young individuals can utilise artificial intelligence to tackle issues related to education, climate, health, employment, and the cost-of-living crisis

Impact Metrics
