The inaugural AI Summit, presented by Right AI and blackcomputeHER.org, INC, is designed through humanity and equity-centered lenses. Our theme - Reimagining AI in Our Image, is an opportunity to discuss (and interrogate) AI and its applications for all people while upskilling attendees on the design and value of AI in everyday experiences. We have invited experts and practitioners who are changing the game in AI/GenAI, and we want to help others do the same. Our tenet is to center on AI and human-machine interaction, minimizing risk (and harm) of the opportunities that lie ahead.
The event is virtual, but our speakers will be live-streamed from Atlanta, GA. A limited number of in-person tickets will be available for those who wish to join us in person. In-person attendees will be able to connect with each other and join our speakers and Summit organizers for a special welcome dinner on Thursday, October 23rd. The full Summit will be October 24-25, 2025. The live-stream link will be shared with registered attendees 24-hours before the event start.
