The University at Buffalo hosted the 2026 Inside Higher Ed’s U.S. AI Summit at the Jacobs School of Medicine this week.
More than 170 people from across the globe gathered in Western New York to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping healthcare, education and more. The conference featured a number of professional and leading industry voices, including UB professors, to discuss how to advance AI for social good.
"The point of a meeting like this is to get a group of really clever people together and say, how can we design this future so that people can be happy, people can work, people can learn and people can have joyful lives," Jeff Grabill, dean of the University at Buffalo College of Arts and Sciences, said.
Speakers included Jason Abel, head of microeconomics at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; Eleonore Fournier-Tombs, chief AI officer for New York state and Valerie Kennedy, founder of Harlem FutureThink.
