Why it matters: AI is transforming every sector—but transformation without intention risks leaving people behind. Utah’s 2025 AI Summit focuses on steering this powerful technology toward human benefit.

The big picture: On December 1–2, the Salt Palace will host leaders from business, academia, and government to address AI’s impact on workforce readiness, research, policy, and innovation under the framework of “Pro-Human AI.”

What to expect

• Governor Cox’s Pro-Human AI Initiative: A roadmap for how Utah will lead in ensuring AI serves people, not the other way around.
• Powerhouse keynotes: Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince on sustainable content creation, NVIDIA co-founder Chris Malachowsky on enabling AI innovation, and actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt on protecting kids in the AI age.
• Interactive policy breakouts: Dive into real challenges like personalized medicine privacy, algorithmic pricing fairness, and AI companion regulation—with legislators and experts.

Between the lines: Utah isn’t just watching AI unfold—it’s actively shaping how technology integrates into society, building on its track record in social media and AI policy leadership.

What they’re saying: “I hope people come away feeling more excited than anxious about the future, and that Utah is really leading out to make that excitement true,” says Margaret Woolley Busse, Executive Director of the Utah Department of Commerce.

The bottom line: If you want a grounded, forward-looking conversation about where AI is heading—and how to ensure it benefits people first—this is where it’s happening.
