Today we assembled 22 of the region’s finest and most dedicated #AI minds to spend a half day going deep on Responsible AI.  We surfaced four succinct yet powerful themes: Standards & Endorsement; Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility; Education, Skills, Jobs; and Trust. These themes will be our north star as we move swiftly to activate opportunities in 2024 including hashtag#Startup creation. We're not just envisioning a future of responsible AI - we're actively building it. Our afternoon session aligned on a framework for an #AI skills program for SMEs in the #Cincinnati region that we’ll bring to live (in phases) in 2024.

It was especially exciting to see the depth of commitment to this topic by our four major universities: University of Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky University, Miami University, Xavier University.

Big thanks to new Cintrifuse EIR and Procter & Gamble Ventures alum Carl Fraik for first-rate moderation and leadership as well as Taffi Hutchings for event operations.

This group started as an informal, under-promoted “meet up” during StartupCincy Week, and is quickly picking up major momentum...as it should! The world needs #ResponsibleAI.
