Creating the UK AI 100 List
The AI 100 List 2026 will be developed through a two-stage process:
Creating the the list:
In September 2026, our expert panel of judges will review all nominations to create the final AI 100 UK List — recognising 100 exceptional individuals shaping the future of AI in the UK.
Announcing the Final AI 100 UK:
The final list will be officially announced during AI Week, taking place 12–16 October 2026.
We’ll then celebrate the achievements of this year’s honourees with a special lunch at the House of Lords in October 2026.
