LTC Real World AI: In Business and Everyday Life

An insightful discussion at our recent LTC event around 'Real World AI: In Business and Everyday Life’.

 

A few key themes stood out:

• AI is no longer experimental - it’s becoming operational infrastructure across industries.

• Competitive advantage is shifting from models to proprietary data, workflows and trusted relationships.

• The biggest challenge isn’t the technology - it’s organisational adoption and training people to use AI effectively.

• The future is moving quickly from generative AI toward agentic systems, robotics and real-world automation.

• The winners won’t simply be AI-first companies, but organisations that combine strong data, sector expertise, trust and practical implementation.

​

A huge thanks to a fantastic group of founders, investors, academics and AI operators who sparked a lively debate: 

• Noor Sweid - Serial entrepreneur, Founder of Dubai-based Global Ventures, named by Forbes magazine one of the 'World’s Top 50 Women in Tech’.

• Dr Kyle Keane - Senior Lecturer in Assistive Technologies at the University of Bristol, where he leads research at the intersection of AI, human cognition, and assistive technology design.

• Mark Fieldhouse, CRO of Form3 - a cloud-native account-to-account platform that offers a range of payment solutions to financial institutions.

• Alfred Manasseh - Cofounder at Shaffra Technology Labs - an AI research lab building autonomous AI teams deployed in minutes. Trusted by governments and enterprises across the GCC and MENA.

• Prof. Aleksandr Farseev -  CEO of SoMin.ai, the Digital Ad Long-Tail targeting and creative optimisation platform driven by AI. 

• Prof. Stefan Zohren - Applied machine learning expert, Associate Professor at the Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford.  

• Edward Albazii - Founder of Algominds - helping companies cut waster prospecting, boost revenue velocity and scale smarter with AI.

• Moez Seraly - Founder of Perfect Cellar - a platform offering a blend of cutting-edge tech and sommelier expertise for a personalised experience for wine connoisseurs.

 

The strongest message of the morning: successful AI adoption will come from solving real operational problems - not chasing hype.
