Selected startups will present on stage and participate in the lunch exhibit.
About the Conference
Over the past year, Artificial Intelligence has been a predominant topic (if not the predominant topic) in just about every field – technology, business, politics, the arts, etc. It is also a rapidly evolving, with news that are often dated after just a few weeks, if not days. But what is the status of AI development and policy? And what are the ethical implications of what some call the next step in the evolution of intelligence? How do questions of ethics in AI keep pace with this breakneck speed of development? These and other pressing questions will be the subject of our conference, where leading MIT experts will weigh in on these issues and their impact on business, politics, education and the overall direction of humanity.
Audience: representatives from ILP corporate members

Disclaimer: MIT Startup Exchange can make introductions that ideally provide open ended discussions in order to share mutual interests and potentially create common ground that incite the parties to collaborate. MIT Startup Exchange introductions may eventually lead to mutual partnerships, but that is not in any way guaranteed by MIT, MIT Corporate Relations, MIT Industrial Liaison Program (ILP) or MIT Startup Exchange, which takes no responsibility for these outcomes and no formal part in such discussions following our introduction.
