Webinar: AI and Antisemitism

March 13, 2026
UKLFI Charitable Trust held a webinar on AI and Antisemitism with Prof. Richard Susskind, chaired by Natasha Hausdorff on Monday 30th March 2026.
In this webinar Professor Susskind  explains the history and current capabilities of AI and its likely future, focussing on the social and economic impact of AI and the benefits and risks that it brings. He talks about what AI means for Jews and antisemitism, covering both its positive and negative implications.
Professor Susskind argues that while AI presents immediate opportunities and threats, the community should be encouraged to plan and prepare for the much more advanced systems that are under development and not to focus only on current issues. He believes that humanity is ill-prepared for the upheavals that AI seems destined to precipitate.
