Join us for the exclusive Leeds premiere of our latest Tech Flix documentary: The AI Skills Paradox – AI is Scaling, Skills are Not

Filmed in Leeds, a city at the heart of tech innovation, this thought-provoking film explores the growing gap between the rapid rise of AI and the skills needed to harness it. Through voices from industry, education, and government, it asks a critical question: are we preparing people for the future, or leaving them behind? 

Following the film, we’ll explore some of the key themes in more detail with our expert panel, led by the film’s creator and host, David Savage. 

Be among the first to see this powerful documentary and take part in the conversation shaping the future of work. Seats are limited so secure your place now.
