AI Impact Awards
Artificial Intelligence is the most transformative technology of our era, poised to revolutionize every aspect of human life and industry. From healthcare to finance, AI is redefining possibilities: detecting cancers with unprecedented accuracy and refashioning investment markets. However, this revolution brings challenges. The line between human and AI-created content blurs, raising questions about authenticity. Workplace automation necessitates rethinking education and careers. Ethical concerns surge as AI in facial recognition threatens privacy, and its use in courtrooms prompts debates on bias. We're at a pivotal moment, exploring how AI reshapes not just capabilities but society itself.
The Newsweek AI Impact Awards identify and recognize practitioner’s unique use of AI to solve everyday business challenges. This Awards Program celebrates not the big ideas, but rather the IMPACT and outcomes of practical use.
Winning entries will be selected via a panel of expert, cross-industry judges and written about by the Newsweek editorial staff.
