The Forum

Are we there yet?

Yes, we are!
Artificial Intelligence has seeped into every aspect of our lives. From industry to healthcare and from agriculture to transportation, communication and safety; artificial intelligence is everywhere and it is definitely here to stay.

How do we cope with that?
How can we find a happy mean between the undisputed benefits of AI and the current and future drawbacks?
In their effort to tame the threats and drawbacks for the benefit of all, national governments and supranational organizations are issuing guidelines and recommendations. They do so, however, in an uncoordinated, almost haphazard, way. One cannot tackle global challenges by acting individually; concerted global action is required.

We have already started.
AI IA Artificial Intelligence In Action, a non-profit organization based in Silicon Valley and inspired by the ideals of Athenian Democracy, aims at promoting AI in a way that aligns with universal values of Democracy, Freedom and Privacy.

We are bringing together leaders of governments, international organizations and institutions, academia, industry and society at large to commit and to take decisive action.

This is where we stand.
We want to trigger balanced results in the global arena, and we plan to do so in a simple, tangible, understanding and understandable way.

We invite you to join us!

A Breakthrough Phygital Interactive Forum

Organized by AI IA Artificial Intelligence in Action nonprofit organization in association with AIAA and San José State University (SJSU), the AIIA Forum 2022 aimed at producing tangible results, while providing delegates with valuable insights into activities, practices and trends.

We brought together leaders of governments, international organizations and institutions, academia, industry and society at large to commit and to take decisive action.

We want to trigger balanced results in the global arena, and we plan to do so in a simple, tangible, understanding and understandable way.

From the cradle of Democracy to the heart of Technology

The Forum was held simultaneously in Athens, Greece, in San José, CA, USA and all around the world.

Following applicable protocols and guidelines, we were able to welcome face-to-face a limited number of distinguished guests along with the Forum’s moderators and some speakers to physically participate and interact in our physical venues in Athens, in Capri and in San José. The Forum was live streamed from our 3D virtual venue at www.ai-action.org. Video replay is available.

Your time is precious! With that in mind we created a series of sessions with interviews, breakthrough presentations, debates, brief and to the point panels and a lot of surprises.

We invite you to join us and to Watch the Replay of the Forum or any keynotes and discussions you missed during the live and gain valuable information, find out novel ways to tackle the unpredictable in the digital world and discover a Breakthrough Phygital Interactive Forum Experience.
