WASHINGTON—The Federal Trade Commission’s Office of Technology is hosting a free virtual tech summit today that will be largely focused on artificial intelligence. The event runs from 12-4:30 p.m. ET.
According to the FTC, the summit will bring together a “diverse group of stakeholders to discuss key developments in the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence (AI), looking across the layers of technology related to AI.”
The online summit, which begins at noon, will bring together representatives from academia, industry, civil society organizations, and government to discuss the state of technology, emerging market trends, and real-world impacts of AI, the FTC said.
The discussions will also explore how to cultivate a marketplace that allows both consumers and businesses, including startups and small businesses, to thrive, the FTC added.
FTC Chair Lina M. Khan and Commissioners Rebecca Kelly Slaughter and Alvaro Bedoya will provide remarks at the summit.
Panel Discussions
The event will also feature three panel discussions. These include discussions on:
- The hardware and other key infrastructure that will be needed for AI development

- AI-powered consumer applications
The tentative agenda is available on the event website. Information on how to participate will also be posted to the event pagesoon, the FTC said.
