Educate. Innovate. Prosper.
The Technology Alliance’s Policy Matters conference - a unique opportunity to connect with cross-sector leaders across Washington state. This event is designed to foster collaboration, build bridges, and expand our collective knowledge, all with a focus on strengthening our state’s innovation economy.
This year we're breaking down the day into 3 core sessions:
• People: The day will start by talking about the workforce needs of this latest industrial revolution, both technical needs as well as the new skills that will be needed by virtually every employed or school-aged person.
• Power: We’ll move to the literal power needs. The goal is to help people understand why AI requires so much power, how utilities are planning to meet those needs with current and future power sources, and then how AI researchers are working to reduce the power needs.
• Purpose: Ending the day by showcasing the truly remarkable advances in science, accessibility, and productivity that AI enables while not shying away from the ethical implications and safeguards that are needed.
