The sixth annual Impact Summit, hosted by TRC, CEDWC, and CIBER at the Fox School of Business, invites scholars and academics to discuss ways that we can better bridge the gap between research and practice.  

About  

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been called the “new electricity” for its potential to transform business practices and generate new opportunities. But like electricity, the development, distribution and use of AI raises serious ethical, equity and safety concerns at work and in the classroom. Business schools and industry are grappling with how to train the talent needed for the new AI-powered global economy and how to implement the technology effectively and ethically. Join academic, government, and business experts to explore AI’s effects on the future of the workplace and how companies and higher education can and should prepare the workforce for AI.
