Bringing together arts educators, arts practitioners, researchers, technologists, policymakers, funders and industry experts from across the United States, attendees will address the promise of AI as it relates to creative fields through conversations with representatives from the National Science Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Endowment for the Arts, the President鈥檚 Committee on the Arts and the Humanities and other leaders.

an associate teaching professor in 麻豆村鈥檚 School of Architecture, said the summit brings together universities, industry partners and policymakers to align on institutional priorities, challenges, and needs, how arts and AI is valued in industry and the funding landscape.
