The rapid evolution and implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) across all industries has led to significant advancements in areas such as health care, software development and media.
But with these innovations come a new set of challenges for businesses to navigate as they enter the new frontier of tech and automation. While the application of AI might look different across industries, all businesses are grappling with similar questions about AI implementation, ethics and regulation.
That is why Newsweek is bringing together diverse leaders from various industries to talk about the state of artificial intelligence at the AI Impact Summit in Sonoma, California, from June 23 to 25.
“As the momentum surrounding artificial intelligence picks up, Newsweek is thrilled to gather some of the greatest producers and users of the technology to showcase the real impacts AI solutions are making in business across industries,” Newsweek’s SVP of Events Megan Knapp said.
The three-day summit, which is sponsored by Cognizant and Google Cloud, will include various panels hosted by Newsweek Contributing Editor for AI and President Emeritus of Bell Labs Marcus Weldon, Editorial Director Newsweek Nexus Gabriel Snyder and Newsweek contributor Chuck Martin.

These panels will explore topics around AI implementation, ethical deployment, workforce adaptation, measurement of success and regulatory compliance, as well as the role of AI in areas like health care, filmmaking and city infrastructure.
Representatives from major law firms, health systems, city governments and companies like Ancestry, Toyota, Tonal, The Zuckerberg Initiative, Zoom, the Hospital for Special Surgery and Instacart will share insights on panels and one-on-one discussions.
Newsweek’s Editor-in-Chief Jennifer Cunningham will also lead a discussion with the COO of Google Cloud, the president of The Weather Company and the chief digital and technology officer at Pfizer.
There will also be opportunities for attendees to engage with each other during roundtable discussions hosted by partners from Navigate Corp, Google Cloud and Scahill Law Group. These breakouts allow people from different industries to share knowledge and explore topics like building vs. buying AI tools, AI experimentation, AI beyond chatbots and using AI to challenge business orthodoxies.
Various networking breaks, AI demonstrations and other group activities will also take place throughout the summit to allow attendees to connect. Through these discussions, attendees will gain actionable strategies for integrating AI, enhance decision-making processes and be inspired to continue driving innovation.
Attendees include leaders from ABBY, Advent Health, Bayer, the American Psychological Association, BlackRock, the city of San Antonio, Conde Nast, the U.S. Department of Transportation, Gilead Sciences, New York University, Octopus Energy, Prudential, Salesforce, Sephora, the Television Academy, U.S. Chamber of Commerce, UMass Chan Medical School and Wells Fargo.
This event comes after the announcement of Newsweek’s AI Impact Award winners. The 38 winners came from a dozen industries, including arts and media, retail, finance, marketing, health, sustainability, engineering and education. The awards recognize innovative AI solutions that address critical problems across various business sectors. Companies were judged by a diverse panel of cross-industry leaders based on the practical impact of their AI tools.
