UIC AI Symposium in Business and Society
The Department of Information Decision Sciences (IDS) of the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) is thrilled to invite you to attend the 4th Annual Symposium on AI in Business and Society.
AI is transforming industries and society at an unprecedented pace, revolutionizing fields like energy, manufacturing, healthcare, consumer insights, and supply chains. While these advancements unlock powerful solutions, challenges remain in achieving enterprise-scale monetization of AI while addressing critical ethical and policy concerns—ranging from bias and transparency to data security and sustainability.
This symposium unites leading experts and practitioners for a dynamic program of keynotes, talks, fireside chats, and panels. Together, we will explore cutting-edge AI applications, responsible strategies, and workforce implications that ensure AI drives both business success and societal benefit. Join us to help define the future of AI innovation with accountability.
What you'll gain from this symposium:
- Actionable frameworks for responsible AI, designed for business and societal impact.
- Expert insights into scaling AI within organizations, tackling data security, and workforce readiness.
- A deep dive into the economics behind building and sustaining AI energy infrastructure.
