On Sept. 10, UND will host the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers\u2019 Innovation, Workforce and Research Conference at the Memorial Union for a daylong AI and Autonomy Summit<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The summit will bring innovators together from government, industry and academia to define the future of AI and its role in aerospace, agriculture and defense.<\/p>\n

With UND\u2019s leadership in aerospace and unmanned systems research, paired with the presence of the Grand Sky UAS business park, the region offers a unique convergence of academic excellence, industry momentum and military infrastructure, observers say. The summit will spotlight how such assets are driving breakthroughs in autonomy across sectors.<\/p>\n

Mark Askelson, associate vice president for Research & National Security, said the summit creates a space to foster collaboration and economic growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy bringing together stakeholders from government, industry and academia, this summit will spark new partnerships, shape national policy and prepare the workforce for an AI- and autonomy-driven future,\u201d Askelson said. \u201cFrom defense to manufacturing, the technologies discussed here will define the next decade of innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The\u00a0summit agenda<\/strong><\/a> features keynotes from leaders in defense, academia and industry, including representatives from the Department of Defense, Northrop Grumman, Grand Sky and AFRL Regional Network-Midwest. Attendees will engage in breakout sessions on air, ground and space autonomy, counter-autonomy strategies and the intersection of autonomous technology and manufacturing.<\/p>\n

Additional panels will explore workforce development, education and policy, with voices from tribal colleges, state agencies and private sector innovators.<\/p>\n

Tickets and registration<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0are still open and will be through Saturday, Sept. 6.<\/p>\n
