SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are rapidly transforming 
industries, economies, and societies. The Federal Government aims to 
address the dynamic landscape of AI through informed policy 
discussions, ensuring these technologies are developed and deployed 
responsibly.
    Emerging AI trends include machine learning advancements, natural 
language processing, applications in vehicles, drones, and robots, as 
well as the integration of big data.
    Considerations to policy should be informed by ethical AI 
development, privacy and security, workforce impact, collaboration, and 
standardization while promoting innovation and acting ethically.

Format

    The Emerging Trends and Policy Symposium convenes leaders from the 
Federal Government, academia, and industry to discuss their experiences 
with artificial intelligence. The summit will include four 
presentations and a fireside chat panel discussion.
