Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making significant strides in the social care sector across the UK, with several success stories highlighting its impact. Looking ahead, the impact of AI on social care is expected to grow even more profound. AI has the potential to transform the sector by personalizing care and improving operational efficiencies, and its future applications promise to further personalize and enhance the care environment for service users and caregivers.

The AI potential comes with both opportunities and challenges that need to be carefully considered. While AI is influencing social care today, and will continue to do so into the future, challenges remain, and widespread adoption of AI in social care faces several significant challenges, spanning technology, ethics, and logistics. Addressing these issues will be crucial as AI plays an ever-greater role in social care systems.

AI in Social Care brings together Technology Providers and AI Developers, Government and Public Sector Representatives, Social Care Providers and Organizations, Social Workers and Caregivers, Healthcare and Social Care Workforce, Academics, Researchers, and Industry Experts, Patient Advocates and Service Users to promote a common vision on how to maximize the potential for AI to improve the care environment for service users and caregivers, whilst minimizing risks.
