Kaleidoscope Salon — AI and Social Justice Infrastructure

A quiet room for loud questions

An intimate but expanded gathering in Central London, bringing together a carefully curated group with exclusive access as Kaleidoscope grows its reach and ambition.

As AI rapidly reshapes our economies, institutions, and daily lives, one question sits quietly beneath the hype: who is this infrastructure really being built for? This salon creates space to slow down, think collectively, and confront the social justice implications of systems we are normalising at speed.

This is not a conference. Not a panel marathon.

It’s a salon-style forum — live, reflective, and action-oriented — designed for people who want to engage seriously with power, responsibility, and the future we are building.

Expect:

Candid, grounded conversations on AI, power, and inequality

Space and facilitates sessions to hold shared unease and frustration — without getting stuck there

Perspectives from across policy, technology, ethics, and lived experience

A senior audience that is as thoughtful and engaged as the speakers

Time to connect, reflect, and continue conversations beyond the room with curated match-making

We’ll explore:

How AI is quietly becoming social infrastructure — and where justice fits in

Where AI is reinforcing inequality, and where it’s strengthening systems that matter

What responsible, human-centred AI looks like in practice — not just in principle

How technology, when designed well, can support access, dignity, and public good

Intentionally designed with limited capacity, to remain intimate while welcoming a broader, more influential community into the room.

No ESG theatre. No performative optimism.

This salon is chaired by the Chair of the UKAS AI Technical Advisory Committee and Expert EU commission advisor, Dr. Jacqui Taylor.
