About AI Academy

Uniting academia, start-ups, and investors at global conferences to shape the future of AI with human values at its core.

Our Purpose

A foundation of ethics, inclusivity, and shared humanity.

AI Academy convenes global thought leaders — academic researchers, founders building responsible AI products, and the investors funding them — to shape AI in service of humanity.

Our flagship conferences gather at landmark venues including Campo Santo Teutonico inside Vatican City. The Newark Incubation Center seeds locally-rooted AI ventures aligned with the Rome Call for AI Ethics.
