"I would say most of our students are coming in already knowing how to use AI and really we're just trying to bring students together to have them collaborate and innovate around ways we can push more just and inclusive ways of using AI," said one person at the conference.

The theme of the conference is "Imagining a More Just and Inclusive Future with AI."
