The program will feature Hertz Fellows and community members at the forefront of AI innovation including 2005 Hertz Fellow Jared Kaplan co-founder of Anthropic, in-school Fellows from MIT, Harvard, Caltech, CU Boulder and Berkeley, alongside other leading scientists, innovators, and policy thinkers. This thought-provoking and interactive event will spotlight the Hertz network’s impact in AI, spark cross-sector conversations, and catalyze further connections in the region.
