Public AI Summit
A two-day summit for the general public to learn about the latest advancements in AI and how to leverage AI tools in everyday life
Are you intrigued by AI but overwhelmed by the hype, terminology, and rapid changes surrounding it? Do you wonder how this powerful technology will affect your life, or how you can have a say in its future? The Public AI Summit is an opportunity to learn, explore, and talk about AI with community members! Our goal is to equip everyone, whether you’re a curious beginner or a frequent user, to better understand and participate in the direction of AI. We’ll present hands-on workshops and accessible talks from experts about the current state of AI, what we’ve learned about it so far, and how to prepare for what might come next.
The Summit will take place over two days between August 13-14, 2025. On Day 1, you will hear keynote talks from AI experts Arvind Narayanan, Kathy Pham, Anna Mills, and Maha Bali, who will break down what’s happening in AI today and answer big questions like: Why are people so obsessed with AI? Where and how is our data being used? What can we learn from teachers who carry the responsibility of preparing the next generation? On Day 2, you’ll dive deeper into these topics through a range of interactive workshops and gain hands-on experience by exploring tools, techniques, risk mitigation strategies, policies, and more.
The Summit is open to the public and free to attend! Co-hosted by the AI Pedagogy Project and the Data Nutrition Project.
