Featured segment:

Solving Bias

Bias is to AI what rust is to steel. It corrupts decisions, leaving us unsure of the integrity of our systems, dooming them to failure. 

Join us as we examine real solutions to solving bias in AI algorithms and data.
MIT Technology Review returns to San Francisco for EmTech Digital, our annual conference on artificial intelligence. 

This year's theme is TRUST. Machines we can trust, data we can trust, results we can trust. The most talked about issues in AI today– deepfakes, bias, explainability, privacy– all have TRUST as a common denominator.

Join us as we bring together preeminent leaders in the AI community to address the practical, technical, and strategic AI deployment issues facing organizations over the next 12 months.
