As the summer of 2023 comes to a close, we can’t help but marvel at the incredible progress and discussions surrounding Artificial Intelligence (AI) that have taken place at the Florida Inventors Hall of Fame. Floridians have been at the forefront of advancing AI, and we are proud to have partnered with esteemed organizations and experts to bring you the Florida Innovation Summer Innovation Series: Revolutionizing the Future with AI.
