Stony Brook’s SUNY AI Symposium Catalyzes New York’s AI Future

On April 14 and 15, the SUNY AI Symposium at Stony Brook brought together pioneers of the AI world who do not often occupy the same room. Educators, scientists, founders, policymakers, students and artists across New York convened at Stony Brook's Charles B. Wang Center, sharing insights and building a vision for AI research, education and full-scale integration.

SUNY Chancellor John B. King Jr. said, "This is a room full of people who deeply grasp the enormous potential of AI as well as its challenges. As you have conversations across every corner of the AI landscape, I challenge you to challenge your assumptions, especially in a field as dynamic as AI."

Stony Brook President Andrea Goldsmith welcomed attendees with enterprising remarks, "I speak for all of our students, faculty, and staff when I say that we at Stony Brook are incredibly proud to be hosting this symposium. This is an opportunity for our community to showcase bold ideas and discover new ways for responsibly accelerating and integrating AI into our research, as well as our education; to use it in industry, the arts, and the humanities; and to use it to benefit society as a whole."
