Join us for an informal evening of discovery and discussion, with Alan Winfield , Professor of Robot Ethics at the University of the West of England (UWE). A number of influential writers have written of the ‘existential threat' of advanced Artificial Intelligence. Their argument revolves around what they call ’the singularity’: the moment that AI exceeds human intelligence and decides that humans are redundant. Alan Wingfield thinks that argument is deeply flawed, but - at the same time - he believes that the new generation of generative AI and Large Language Models poses significant dangers. Join the discussion he outlines the threats including physical and psychological harms to individuals; societal threats, and environmental threats. The latter because of the huge energy and water costs of the most powerful AIs. Alan Winfield is Professor of Robot Ethics at the University of the West of England (UWE), Bristol, UK, Visiting Professor at the University of York, and Associate Fellow of the Cambridge Centre for the Future of Intelligence. Alan co-founded the Bristol Robotics Laboratory where his research is focussed on the science, engineering and ethics of cognitive robotics.

Workshop: Working with Sexual Abuse Facilitator: Caroline Walker Date: Saturday 28th June 2025 Time: 9.30am - 3.00pm Training Type: In Person (face to face) Venue: Willows Counselling & Training, 11 Prospect Place, Swindon SN1 3LQ Hosted by: Willows Counselling & Training, Swindon CPD: 5 Hours About the Workshop: Sexual abuse, in any form, at any age, can deeply affect a person, it breaks through our personal boundaries and can leave a devastating trail of incomprehension, confusion, incompleteness, self-loathing and often, a limited ability to reach out for help and talk about it. I would like to share some of the ways that we can sensitively work with in this area with a confidence that will support our clients to find their light again and move forward with their lives in a more positive way. We will look at the different forms of sexual abuse, the effects and the impact it has on the client and their nervous system. We will look at the nuances of working with this particular devastating type of trauma and things to take into account which can be helpful for your client. We will also cover pre-trial therapy and how you can support clients who are going through court cases in relation to the abuse. And most importantly, we will look at ways to support ourselves as counsellors when working with this subject matter to ensure that we are fully resourced and avoid any vicarious trauma. About the Speaker: Caroline is a UKCP Registered Child & Adolescent & Adult Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor specialising in trauma. Caroline was the Child Clinical Lead for Trust House Reading (a centre for counselling and giving advice to people who have been affected by sexual abuse) where she helped to grow the service, trained counsellors to work with this client group and supervised her team. Caroline is passionate about working in the field of trauma and draws on her different modalities of Integrative Creative Art & Play therapy, EMDR, Somatic Experiencing and Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy to help clients find their own healing path towards a more balanced and positive way of being. Caroline consults with children, young people and adults in her practice. As well as lecturing on the L6 Postgraduate Diploma in Trauma Counselling course at Willows, Caroline now works in Private Practice, room based and out in nature, with her small herd of horses using the natural surroundings to help bring clients back to self-regulation, inner strength and ultimately processing the trauma when they are ready. With this work, Caroline takes self-care very seriously so she can continue this important work for the longevity. She engages with her own therapy, supervision and regulates her own nervous system daily with mindfulness, exercise and working with her own horses.
