This event will be hosted by Pitt Business, in collaboration with the Pitt Business Center for Branding, Pittsburgh Technology Council, Pitt School of Computing and Information, and Responsible Data Science at Pitt.
The conference focuses on the promise and perils of Artificial Intelligence (AI), spotlighting its transformative role across business, in education and for humanity. While we explore how AI can foster innovation, we also need to develop an understanding of the impact of AI on humanity and the human experience, and the need for deployment of responsible AI in organizations. Discover how responsible AI practices can drive innovation, enhance governance, and prepare organizations for an AI-powered future.
In addition to engaging in discussions, attendees will:
- Gain a comprehensive understanding of human-centered and responsible AI and its applications.
- Develop strategies for integrating responsible and ethical AI practices into business and educational contexts.
- Identify and address ethical challenges associated with AI technologies.
- Foster a collaborative environment for discussing AI’s future impacts on humanity.
