About the 2024 GW Business & Policy Forum
An artificial intelligence boom is underway and accelerating at an exponential magnitude. The developments in big data and machine learning have now led to large language models that are rapidly paving the way toward the emergence of artificial generative intelligence (AGI). What mechanisms and frameworks should we use to prepare for the future? How should these innovations materialize in markets around the globe? What safe and ethical practices could government and business leaders follow when integrating AI into their operations? During this second annual GW Business & Policy Forum, leading experts and practitioners and leaders from the private and public sectors will convene to discuss these questions and others that society must address, juxtaposed with the transformational benefits of AI for our economic and social welfare.
