07:05pm - Henry Musto, BBC " Using AI to Predict Dementia - An Overview of Research and Future Directions"
Henry Musto is a fifth year PhD candidate at Goldsmiths, University of London. He is also a professional data scientist, with over ten years experience, currently contracting with the BBC. For the past five years, Henry has been using AI modelling techniques in order to predict the onset of Alzheimer’s Disease, and track the prognosis of this debilitating condition. In this presentation, Henry will give an overview of the current state of the field of dementia prediction using AI, and present a summary of his own work and plans for future research.
07:45pm - Break
08:00pm - Damien Bemben, Ada Mode "Analysing UK's energy development fears - a graveyard of NIMBY destroyed projects."
Damien will talk about how "Not In My Back Yard" (NIMBYISM) is strangling UK infrastructure development, particularly renewable energy projects, and demonstrate his novel solution: the "Nimby Radar" - an AI-powered system that quantifies the true cost of local opposition to green infrastructure.
He'll dive into publicly available data sources to map organized resistance efforts, then showcase how Google's latest AI capabilities - including Model Context Protocol (MCP), agent-to-agent communication, advanced vectorization, and large-scale data analysis APIs - can automatically identify and analyze NIMBY campaigns at scale.
