Ai4 2025 opens in Las Vegas Showcasing Latest in Artificial Intelligence

The 8th annual Ai4 Conference, one of North America’s largest gatherings dedicated to artificial intelligence, opened today at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. More than 8,000 participants from over 85 countries are expected to attend, including executives, technologists, researchers, and policymakers, to explore how AI is reshaping industries such as finance, healthcare, retail, and manufacturing.

The event features over 600 speakers across 50 dedicated tracks, alongside 250 exhibitors presenting innovations in applied AI, generative models, regulatory frameworks, agentic systems, and sector-specific applications. The conference agenda spans three days, with sessions, keynote speeches, live product demonstrations, and networking opportunities.

Robert Fletcher, CEO and Editor-in-Chief at CIJ EUROPE, is attending the event to cover the latest AI innovations, conduct interviews, and participate in panel discussions. His reports will appear in CIJ EUROPE’s August coverage and the Q3 issue of CIJ EUROPE magazine, bringing insights from Ai4 directly to the publication’s readership across the real estate and business sectors.

Highlights on the opening day include keynote addresses from Randi Weingarten, President of the American Federation of Teachers, focusing on AI’s impact on education, and Tengyu Ma, Chief AI Scientist at MongoDB and Stanford University professor, discussing the state of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) in 2025. Press briefings will showcase product launches in areas including AI-powered 3D avatars, rare disease research platforms, agentic AI governance tools, and AI-driven inventory management.

In addition to its industry-specific tracks, Ai4 includes a Research Summit blending academic perspectives with commercial deployment strategies, pre-conference training sessions, and an expo floor featuring business-ready AI solutions. Over the next two days, keynote speakers will include AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton, Stanford professor Fei-Fei Li, and technology leaders from Cisco, Deloitte, and Colossal Biosciences.

Since its launch in 2018, Ai4 has become a central meeting point for business leaders, AI practitioners, researchers, and policymakers, fostering discussions on real-world adoption and responsible innovation. This year’s conference continues that mission, providing a platform for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and the examination of AI’s evolving role in the global economy.
