Roundtable: The Impact of Artificial Intelligence in the Region

As part of the AS/COA Tech Series, AS/COA will host regional experts for a conversation about the economic impact of artificial intelligence (AI), and how the technology may promote greater innovation and economic progress across key sectors such as finance, energy, transport, and government services. This roundtable seeks to engage experts on the use of AI and its impact across markets. AI is and will take a leading role in our lives and in the world.

Speakers will discuss the following questions: How do we create and how do we use artificial intelligence? How can we leverage AI to benefit the public, and how do we ensure it is used responsibly? How do we develop the AI ecosystem and its capabilities? What are the current barriers to AI uptake? What are the key policy initiatives in the region?

This roundtable is by-invitation-only, and on the record. The discussion will take place in English and Spanish, and simultaneous interpretation will be available.
