AI: Are we tightening the White Collar Noose?
The £1.9 Trillion AI Gamble… The world is set to spend $2.59 trillion on AI in 2026 — yet according to MIT, 95% of enterprise AI pilots have delivered no measurable return.
At the same time, the UK workforce is feeling the pressure. Youth unemployment has reached 16.2%, more than a million young people are NEET, graduate vacancies are at their lowest since 2012, and tech graduate roles have fallen by 46% in a single year.
So, where is AI really creating value — and who is being left behind?
Set in the heart of the City of London, this unfiltered panel brings together AI builders, enterprise operators, financial services leaders and the CEO of an AI value measurement platform to tackle the questions too often left out of the hype: AI ROI, failed pilots, governance gaps, workforce disruption and what responsible adoption must look like next.

S***t! I’m in my 30’s: What’s the plan for retirement?
@Vicky.spratt
You’re in your 30s and somehow “sorting your pension” has become a real conversation. Horrible.
Vicky Spratt returns to host a funny, honest and slightly panic-inducing chat about money, retirement and whether any of us actually have a plan. Joining her are financial experts, industry insiders and people who are absolutely winging it too.
From pensions and property to debt, investing and the fantasy of retiring before death, this is the no-judgement financial reality check every thirty-something needs.
