Introduction of Women in AI Leadership Award and Responsible AI Pledge

CHICAGO, IL, UNITED STATES, May 29, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed virtually every aspect of our daily lives. As the world seeks to embrace this revolutionary technology, important questions arise: How can we ensure AI is used responsibly and ethically? How can we manage the overwhelming flow of information it generates? The answers begin at Chicago AI Week, happening from June 25 to 27 (June 25, Industry Day; June 26, Impact Day; June 27, Innovation Day). Known as a premier event for exploring responsible AI, this year’s conference is set to engage attendees with profound insights and distinguished speakers.

"Chicago AI Week is a pivotal part of a global movement led by visionary thinkers to reshape the AI landscape, “said Xiaochen Zhang, the event’s producer and the Executive Director and Chief Responsible AI Officer at AI 2030. ” With a dynamic mix of top-tier academic institutions, government research bodies, and an innovative ecosystem, Chicago is quickly becoming an influential AI hub, bolstered by its status as a major financial center.”

The Chicago AI Week advisory committee co-chair, 1871’s CEO Betsy Ziegler says, "We are thrilled to inaugurate the AI 2030 Hub-Chicago alongside AI 2030 during Chicago AI Week, further cementing Chicago's position as a hub for technological innovation. 1871 is excited to invite AI leaders from across the globe to join us on this transformative journey."

"The implementation of Al Solutions has the potential to streamline essential city services. From public safety to urban planning, we can utilize Al to identify patterns and make our city a better place. Chicago AI Week brings those at the forefront of artificial intelligence to our city, further cementing our reputation as a hub for tech and AI in the Midwest." - Alderman Gilbert Villegas, Chairman of the Committee on Economic, Capital, and Technology Development, City of Chicago
