No. 65 Tech Pulse 2030- Building the Responsible AI City
We invite you to register through our NY Tech Week official event page on Partiful.
Building the Responsible AI City brings together New York's public-sector leaders, employers, workforce, and education institutions, AI builders, civic organizations, investors, and funders to examine what responsible AI adoption requires at the city scale.
Hosted at Celonis, 70th floor, in 1 World Trade Center, Building the Responsible AI City brings this conversation into one of New York's most iconic business landmarks, a fitting setting for a discussion about the infrastructure, workforce, and trust needed to shape AI adoption at the city scale.
AI adoption is already moving through New York's companies, agencies, schools, and communities. The next question is whether the city has the workforce, infrastructure, and governance capacity to make that adoption useful, trustworthy, and broadly beneficial.
The conversation will focus on strengthening AI-ready talent pipelines, modernizing digital and civic infrastructure, supporting practical AI governance, and ensuring AI-driven innovation creates economic and community benefit across New York.
