BALTIMORE - ColoradoDesk -- The AI Empowerment Summit, a transformative two-day event focused on the expansive potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI), will take place on May 8-9, 2025, at the Morgan State University School of Engineering's DeLoach Auditorium, located within the Thurgood Marshall Amenity Center at the STEM City Baltimore Innovation Center. Hosted by Morgan State University, STEM City USA, and Career Communications Group, the summit will bring together industry leaders, educators, policymakers, and innovators to explore the intersection of AI and inclusion, while addressing the societal need for diversity in the rapidly growing tech sector.

The event will be a significant milestone in the development of the STEM City Baltimore Innovation Center, an initiative designed to empower communities, particularly underrepresented groups, to actively participate in and benefit from the burgeoning fields of artificial intelligence, technology, and innovation. Through this summit, STEM City USA is reinforcing its commitment to not only driving economic growth but also ensuring that diverse voices are integral to shaping the future of AI.

Why Inclusion Matters in AI

Inclusion is at the core of this summit because AI, when developed without diverse perspectives, risks reinforcing existing biases and exacerbating inequalities. To create AI systems that serve everyone equitably, it is essential that people from all walks of life—especially those from historically underrepresented communities—are involved in every stage of AI development. By ensuring inclusion in AI, the summit seeks to empower individuals to actively participate in shaping technological solutions, ensuring AI advancements reflect the diverse needs of society.
