December 2, 2024 | As the potential for generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) expands, so does the interest in harnessing GenAI in facilitating and stimulating economic growth. In this half-day conference, leading academics and public and private industry experts considered pressing questions related to GenAI's potential to support economic development and its implications for the workforce.

The first panel session discussed how GenAI can be explicitly used to stimulate economic growth and explore the potential for public-private relationships to do so. The panel also explored the role of both federal and local governments in promoting the use of GenAI for this purpose.
The second panel session considered the impact of GenAI on the workforce and how to anticipate and fill the skill gaps that are likely to arise. The panel also focused on the role of public-private relationships in ensuring that the workforce can move to a GenAI economy in a productive and ethical manner.

The conference concluded with a summary of key takeaways and concluding remarks followed by a reception.
