Free webinar: 'Demystifying AI'

22 June 2026

Pilot-UKAIFA, the UK AI Factory Antenna, will kick off its training programme on 25 June with the webinar 'Demystifying AI'.

We hear about AI almost every day, but what exactly is it? Why has it arrived now? And what actually happens when you press return to send your query to ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude?

This webinar is aimed at anyone who is interested in these questions, regardless of whether you have a technical background. It will introduce how AI systems work under the hood, help you understand AI's strengths and limitations, and show you the different kinds of things it can be used for.

I hope that you can join us at 13:00 BST on Thursday 25 June. Registration is not required.

UK AI Factory Antenna

The €10m (£8.6m) UK AI Factory Antenna (UKAIFA) is one of 13 Antenna projects designed to strengthen national AI ecosystems and complement existing European AI Factories

Led by the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, EPCC’s UK AI Factory Antenna (Pilot-UKAIFA) works in partnership with the HammerHAI AI Factory, coordinated by the High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS) and a consortium of leading German research centres.

Pilot-UKAIFA will support the growing UK demand for AI adoption by expanding access to AI capabilities across start-ups, SMEs, large industry, and the public sector.

As part of the wider project, Pilot-UKAIFA will run a series of training courses, from entry-level courses and webinars like this one, up to expert level training aimed at users and potential users of large-scale AI systems.

The Pilot-UKAIFA website will launch soon at www.Pilot-UKAIFA.ai.
