As Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies become more accessible and continue to advance at rapid speeds, there are increasing concerns from experts about how to use the technology responsibly and the effect it will have on the world.

The forum will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on April 2 at the Jack Morton Auditorium.
The theme this year is “Imagining the Future with AI.” Attendees can expect robust discussion about issues society must address amid the integration of AI technologies into nearly every industry.
Panel topics include the future of AI in healthcare, AI empowering the public sector, emerging AI policy issues with housing and financial services, AI at the intersection of cybersecurity and trustworthy AI.
Forum attendees will not only hear from several of the most influential figures in AI but also enjoy networking opportunities to engage with key players, collaborate on integrating new technologies and act to manage AI risks.

The forum is a campus-wide effort that will explore the risks associated with AI and the transformational benefits the technology can have on our economic and social welfare.
Experts from various industries will be present at the forum to provide further insight into the new advancements in this technology and the responsible use and implications of AI.
