New York City is home to the most Fortune 500 companies in the world and a global leader across industries poised for AI adoption, such as finance, insurance, life sciences and healthcare, real estate, climate tech, and media. Add to the mix a $2 trillion GDP, 4-million-person workforce, 200+ languages spoken, and 100+ higher education institutions, and New York City has the scale, talent, diversity, and use cases required for the development and adoption of AI.

In this keynote session, NYCEDC's President and CEO will discuss the current state of AI in New York City, the key levers making its growth possible, and where NYC is headed as the Applied AI Capital of the World through strategic investments across the city.
