AI events: The World AI Cannes Festival
The World AI Cannes Festival was born of a unique ambition: to bring together a wide audience for businesses around Artificial Intelligence, in order to raise awareness of the main economic, human, and societal stakes associated with the technology. Through a rich and diverse programme, participants are invited to discover and understand how artificial intelligence will transform our lives and our societies.
For sectors of the industry, this new gathering is a fantastic opportunity to review the latest news in their market, to present their knowledge, to meet the business decision-makers and leaders, and demonstrate their commitment to an ethical and sustainable AI. The event will take place over the course of three days.
The first two days will include key and leading industry players and will primarily focus on addressing various business needs. The third day will target consumer education and explore the numerous benefits of AI and its significant impact across sectors, industries, and our everyday lives.
