While enjoying the convenience brought by this revolutionary technology to work and life, how can we ensure that its possible negative impacts are controlled so that technological progress can truly benefit mankind? How can we protect the rights and interests of consumers and humans while promoting technological innovation? How can the development of AI in various industries set an example for other fields and help latecomers avoid detours?
As an important global event for exploring responsible artificial intelligence, Chicago AI Week will be held from June 25 to 28 (June 25: Industry Day; June 26: Impact Day; June 27: Innovation Day; June 28: Web3Con), to explore these issues in depth, find answers, and promote cross-national, cross-state, cross-industry, and cross-disciplinary artificial intelligence cooperation.
"Government officials, thinkers, technology experts and business leaders who care about the future of humanity are working together to address the opportunities and challenges that artificial intelligence brings to human society. Chicago Artificial Intelligence Week is an important part of this global action," said Zhang Xiaochen, founder of Chicago Artificial Intelligence Week and founder of AI 2030. "Chicago is a gathering place for top academic institutions, government research institutions and innovation ecosystems, and is rapidly emerging as an influential artificial intelligence center. In addition, as one of the world's major financial centers, Chicago also makes full use of its unique position to promote the innovation and application of artificial intelligence in finance and multiple fields."
“We are excited to launch the AI 2030 Chicago Center in conjunction with AI 2030 during Chicago AI Week, further solidifying Chicago as a hub for technology innovation,” said Betsy Ziegler, Co-Chair of the Chicago AI Week Advisory Board and CEO of 1871. “1871 is pleased to invite AI leaders from around the world to join us on this transformative journey.”

Chicago AI Week brings leaders in the field of AI to our city, further solidifying our reputation as a technology and AI hub in the Midwest,” said Councilman Gilbert Villegas, Chair of the City of Chicago’s Economic, Capital and Technology Development Committee.
