Pittsburgh AI Summit Begins with Discussions on Trust, Acceptance, and the Future

The third annual AI Horizons summit in Pittsburgh is bringing together leaders and experts to address the delicate balance between the adoption of artificial intelligence technologies and elements of trust.

AI Adoption and Points of Tension

The main theme of the event, AI adoption, addresses the tension between the opportunities and responsibilities brought by the technology.

Joanna Doven, CEO of the AI Strike Team organizing the summit, emphasizes that the primary goal is to build with artificial intelligence rather than run away from it.

Meeting Point at Bakery Square

Known as the AI corridor, Bakery Square will host the summit, which will take place on September 17 and 18.

During the event, Governor Josh Shapiro will deliver the opening keynote address and speak to attendees.

Smart Cities and Infrastructure Projects

NVIDIA official Jumbi Edulbehram and Pittsburgh Mayor Corey O'Connor will discuss the city's artificial intelligence infrastructure.

Critical topics such as the global housing crisis and the integration of autonomous vehicles into the city will also be discussed during the sessions.

Education and Philosophical Dimensions

Sessions on the second day will introduce the Pennsylvania Creates initiative, which aims to empower students to become artificial intelligence creators.

The closing of the summit will address the question of whether artificial intelligence can philosophically be taught wisdom.
