“As we move in to the age of artificial intelligence and the Fourth Industrial Revolution it is essential that we promote dialogue and understanding between those developing and using the new technologies and those in Government and Parliament responsible for their regulation and oversight. PICTFOR provides the ideal forum for such a fruitful exchange of ideas and opinions.”
