World Summit AI 2022: transforming business and society

World AI Week, the only week in the world dedicated to the global AI ecosystem, gathered more than 16,000 experts, innovators and business leaders in the field of artificial intelligence in Amsterdam for the biggest AI-event comeback since the pandemic. Dubbed the “AI reunion of the year”, World AI Week is a platform developed by InspiredMinds! in partnership with the City of Amsterdam, Amsterdam Convention Bureau, Accenture, StartupAmsterdam and Smart Health Amsterdam, culminating in the world’s leading summit for artificial intelligence—World Summit AI 2022.

From October 12-13, World Summit AI 2022 set the stage for 200+ speakers across 11 tracks to explore how AI is transforming business and society from AI ethics and transparency, digital privacy, to the use of artificial intelligence in fighting the climate crisis and building livable and safe cities using AI-powered technologies. Automation, creativity, diversity, innovation, responsibility and optimisation were among the main topics explored during the 2-day program, drawing 6,000+ attendees including investors, big tech, business leaders, startups and academics to set the global AI agenda together.
