Vivatech, CES Las Vegas, SXSW… Events dedicated to artificial intelligence and tech events revealing new concrete applications related to AI through innovative startups, will undoubtedly punctuate the year 2024 for entrepreneurs. What AI events will you be attending in 2024?

VivaTech In France

It’s THE event dedicated to technological innovation and innovative startups! The VivaTech (or Viva Technology) exhibition will take place from May 22 to 25, 2024. There is no doubt that this new edition will once again focus on artificial intelligence and its applications. In 2023, among the 150,000 visitors, we witnessed the presence of Jumbo Mana. This Strasbourg-based startup allowed visitors to interact with a version of Van Gogh animated by behavioral generative AI. What exciting surprises does this new edition hold for us?

CES 2024 in Las Vegas

Undoubtedly the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the world’s most important exhibition dedicated to technological and electronic innovation for industry professionals and the public, is set to rock Sin City from January 9 to 12. Already, this edition seems to resonate with artificial intelligence. Cars, smartphones, next-generation laptops, headphones, cameras, washing machines – everyday objects are incorporating AI to offer new experiences, pointing to a new trend: embedded AI, directly integrated into devices, signaling that this technology is becoming widespread across all sectors and products.

SXSW

The South by Southwest festival will take place in Austin, Texas, from March 8 to 12, 2024. It is one of the world’s largest gatherings dedicated to new technologies, and a prime venue to satisfy one’s curiosity about artificial intelligence. AI takes center stage at the event, alongside cinema, television, and music. In 2023, speakers like Amy Webb, Ian Beacraft, Kevin Kelly, Rohit Bhargava, and Greg Brockman addressed AI in their presentations. Bpifrance organizes an on-site mission for companies that will be rich in contacts and content.

Global Forum on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence 2024

While enthusiasm for artificial intelligence remains strong, ethical issues and the need to regulate the use of this technology are equally important. Decision-makers, industry leaders, representatives from scientific institutions, and NGOs will gather in Kranj, Slovenia, on February 5 and 6, 2024. They will discuss ethics, governance of artificial intelligence, and its opportunities at this global forum, under the patronage of UNESCO. An event to keep an eye on!
