October 6-9, 2025 | The University of Notre Dame
The Lucy Family Institute for Data & Society at the University of Notre Dame is delighted to announce the inaugural RISE AI Conference on October 6-9, 2025, at the University of Notre Dame in Notre Dame, IN.
The world is in a transformative era, with AI revolutionizing industries, reshaping innovation, and unlocking opportunities once thought impossible. Its vast potential inspires optimism for a future where technology drives progress across industries, governments, NGOs, and society as a whole. However, with this promise comes significant responsibility. Concerns over bias, inequitable access, safety vulnerabilities, and ethical uncertainties highlight the urgent need for a guiding framework. RISE (Responsibility, Inclusion, Safety and Ethics) AI fulfills this role, ensuring that AI technologies are developed and applied responsibly, inclusively, and ethically.
