🌱 AI x Sustainability – Reflections from the AI Breakfast Panel ☕🌍 Last week’s AI Breakfast brought together founders and leaders in climate tech, AI, and finance to explore how intelligent systems can accelerate the transition to Net Zero. Chaired by John Spindler and hosted by Barclays, the panel tackled some tough but crucial questions: 🔍 What’s holding back sustainability progress? – Fragmented data – Lack of shared taxonomies – Regulatory complexity – The funding gap for hardware startups 💡 Where can AI make the biggest difference? – Enabling faster access to sustainability data – Reducing the cost of hardware through predictive analytics – Tackling greenwashing with transparent metrics – Supporting biodiversity and regenerative economies A standout moment: Dan Brett showcased Sention Technologies Limited’ ultrasound-based system for inspecting batteries. Think AI that sees inside battery cells — reducing scrappage, improving quality, and cutting emissions across the value chain. Final takeaway? AI is no silver bullet, but it’s a powerful enabler. The future lies in smart collaboration across startups, finance, and deep tech. 🎤 Thank you to our panelists: 🔹 Imtiaz Shams, CEO at FLOX monitoring 75M birds using AI-powered cameras 🔹 Saurabh Gosain, Managing Director of CIO Group Sustainability at Barclays 🔹 Henry Wright, CEO of Bright Tide supporting 350+ climate entrepreneurs 🔹 Alistair Bradley, Head of Technology Office of Sustainability at Barclays exploring how the bank can cut tech emissions 🔹 Dan Brett, CEO of Sention Technologies Limited reducing battery scrappage throughout the supply chain. Big thanks to everyone who joined. Special shout-out to Katie Lockwood from Twin Path (who is on a 100-startup in 30 days sprint!) and the Barclays teams supporting climate innovation from every angle. 🌱 The AI Breakfast Club is a monthly event and the next one will take place on May 6th and be focused on AI-enabled DevOp tools.

The Future of Creativity: Where AI Meets Human Imagination 🎭🤖 Last week, Twin Path hosted our March AI Breakfast in collaboration with Barclays Eagle Labs—bringing together brilliant minds from the creative and tech industries to explore a fascinating (and sometimes polarising) topic: AI & Creativity. Chaired by Katie Lockwood, our panel featured insights from: Guy Gadney 🔜 SXSW,LA,GDC (Charismatic AI), Barn Cleave (Tilki), Ella Hughes (Mercuri VC), Thomas Keane (Meaning Machine), Julia Garayo Willemyns (UK Day One) Together, they shared some of the exciting possibilities at the intersection of AI & creativity: 🎮 AI-generated characters and stories for TV and games that feel alive. 🌍 Immersive 3D worlds built from just a few lines of narrative text. 🕹️ Premium AI-driven NPCs that redefine the gaming experience. But beyond the innovation, one big question kept coming up—both on the panel and from the audience: How do we balance the efficiency of AI with the essence of human creativity? It’s a question that cuts across copyright, ethical AI use, and the evolving role of humans in creative industries. While opinions varied, many of our panelists agreed on one thing: 🚀 AI isn’t replacing creativity—it’s reshaping the tools we use to create. AI can generate, enhance, and amplify, but the spark of imagination, the empathy of storytelling, and the nuance of human experience remain irreplaceable. As Julia Garayo Willemyns (UK Day One) highlighted, the legal and economic frameworks still have catching up to do. But the optimism in the room was undeniable. The real magic lies in the interplay between human creativity and AI—not in competition, but in collaboration. 👉 Want to dive deeper? • Julia’s briefing on AI & copyright: https://lnkd.in/e3Suh7wm • Tilki’s AI-powered creative tool demo: https://www.tilki.ai/ What do you think?

Tuesday's AI Breakfast - the most informative panel discussion yet - and a fantastic breakfast from our partner Barclays Eagle Labs 👇 👇

🚀 Exploring the UK’s AI Future at the Barclays Eagle Labs AI Breakfast! 🚀 Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting a panel discussion at the AI Breakfast, a monthly event chaired by Twin Path Ventures. At last week's event we explored the UK’s newly launched AI Action Plan and its potential to reshape the AI landscape. Our expert panelists—Alastair Moore (CSO of DeepFlow), Kir N. (Head of Tech Regulation at Startup Coalition), Harry Lund (Deputy Director, AI Opportunities at DSIT), and Sophie Sheldon (Tech Reg, AI, Data and Op Res Partner at Simmons & Simmons)—shared invaluable insights on how this plan could propel the UK into a global leadership role in AI. Key Takeaways: 📈 The AI Action Plan offers a solid foundation for the UK’s AI ecosystem but needs more support for early-stage startups. 🧠 The potential of NHS data as a competitive advantage must be balanced with privacy considerations. 👩🎓 The importance of upskilling in both technical and non-technical domains, with innovative ideas like free AI PhDs for British women to address gender equity. 🌍 Emphasising the UK’s strengths, including a robust legal framework and top-tier universities, while tackling challenges in transitioning to an AI-driven economy. 📅 Join Us at the Next AI Breakfast! Our next AI Breakfast will take place next Tuesday, 4th March at 8:30 am, focused on AI and Creativity. Don’t miss the chance to connect, learn, and explore new ideas with industry experts. 👉 Sign up here: AI Breakfast Club on Eventbrite - https://lnkd.in/eGerPD6i We look forward to seeing you there!
