We are thrilled to announce that GeSI will take center stage at the prestigious Science Summit during the 79th UN General Assembly, hosting our very own “AI with Purpose Global Summit” in New York City on September 19th, 2024. This groundbreaking event will unite global leaders, industry pioneers, policymakers, and international organizations to explore how AI can be a force for societal progress while addressing some of the most critical ethical challenges of our time.
