AI Innovation Summit

Taking over Chicago, one deep dish at a time

The 1871 AI Innovation lab brought together the brightest minds in AI across Chicago and beyond. Over the past few months we had the privilege to work alongside Why of AI, and partner with great Chicago Corporate Partners in Discover, Mars, Beam Suntory, Miller Spirits and more. We capped off Q2 learning about responsible and ethical AI development, and participating in the AI Innovation Pitch Competition. Congrats to our friends xBlock and Levee for taking home the top choice awards.
