Inaugural Frontiers of AI Summit focuses on the foundational research behind AI’s rapid progress
On May 27, nearly 300 researchers, industry leaders, and nonprofit innovators gathered at Cornell Tech for the inaugural Frontiers of AI Summit, hosted by Cornell Tech and the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute, to discuss the foundational advances shaping the future of artificial intelligence.
Participants from institutions including Cornell University, Princeton University, Columbia University, and New York University mingled with representatives from nonprofit organizations such as the Simons Foundation and Biohub, and startups gaining traction in the AI space, such as Cursor, Gimlet Labs, Makora, and Radical AI. The mix reflected the wide reach of AI today, spanning everything from the design of core systems to their growing use in science, medicine, and engineering.
"We created the Frontiers of AI Summit to build a space in New York City where the people pushing the boundaries of AI - in academia, science, and industry - can come together to think deeply rather than just move fast. The inaugural event showed us there's real hunger for that kind of dialogue, and the extent of AI innovation and research in New York," said event organizer Yoav Artzi, associate professor of computer science at Cornell Tech and the Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science.
