Long Island’s role in the future development of artificial intelligence and how the technology can benefit local businesses is the subject of a half-day conference on April 3 in Brookville.

The event, at Long Island University’s Tilles Center for the Performing Arts, is the first-ever collaboration between two of the region’s leading business groups: the Long Island Association and HIA-LI.

Radhika Dirks, an A.I. consultant to Fortune 100 companies and CEO of A.I.developer XLabs in San Francisco, will deliver the keynote address following a noon luncheon. Breakout sessions will take place between 2 and 4 p.m.

“It is important for business leaders to understand how to effectively integrate A.I. to support their company’s expansion and growth, further solidifying Long Island’s position as a hub for creativity and economic prosperity,” said Matt Cohen, CEO and president of the Long Island Association.

Terri Alessi-Miceli, CEO and president of the HIA-LI, agreed, saying, “this technology is pivotal for businesses of all sizes, enabling small firms to scale rapidly and large corporations to optimize their operations.”

The 2024 HIA-LI Long Island Economic Survey found executives are slow to embrace A.I., despite 6 in 10 saying it would benefit their business or nonprofit. Nearly 7 in 10 of the 118 CEOs surveyed between November and mid-January said they won’t be investing in A.I.this year.

Tickets are $30 per person. More information may be found at LI-AI.eventbrite.com.
