Our Mission
The mission of the AI Council is to advance the responsible development and use of artificial intelligence (AI) in order to benefit society and improve human welfare. We believe that AI has the potential to transform various industries and solve some of the world’s most pressing challenges, but it is important to ensure that it is developed and used ethically and inclusively.
To achieve our mission, we work to:
- Promote the ethical development and use of AI, including the consideration of issues related to transparency, accountability, bias, and privacy.
- Facilitate the exchange of ideas and knowledge about AI among experts from academia, industry, and government.
- Provide a platform for dialogue and collaboration between AI stakeholders, including researchers, policymakers, industry leaders, and civil society organizations.
- Foster the growth and development of the AI ecosystem, including through the support of research and development, education and training, and innovation.
- Engage with policymakers and other stakeholders to ensure that the development and use of AI reflects the values and interests of society.
We believe that by working together, we can harness the power of AI to make a positive difference in the world.
2023 Program
Our goal is to provide a range of opportunities for professionals to learn, collaborate, and drive the responsible development and use of AI forward.
In 2023, we scheduled a variety of activities, including:

These programs will cover a range of topics, including ethical AI, machine learning, and data science.
