Artificial intelligence (AI) seems to be taking all industries by storm. Still, the sad reality is that so far, these changes are afforded to and created by large players who have the resources to develop AI technology. But if we are to unlock the full potential and promise of this technology, the future of AI development needs to be shaped by developers in companies of all sizes, even if they are resource-constrained. This session will explore how democratizing AI tools, platforms, and knowledge can accelerate innovation, bridge skill gaps, and empower the next generation of AI technology creators.

Technology tends to follow the path of democratization. From an infrastructure layer to a platform layer to finally the application layer, making the technology accessible to everyday users should be the natural progression. AI will soon move from the foundational models developed by companies like Anthropic and Open AI to applications that allow users to interact with unique and useful AI tools in their daily lives. This will be made possible by lowering barriers to entry through open-source frameworks, user-friendly APIs, and collaborative ecosystems so AI can become a tool for everyone, not just a privileged few.

Attendees will leave this talk with practical insights on how companies can ensure the efficient and equitable development of AI through the steps needed to enable developers with AI infrastructure, simplify AI platforms and empower developers with AI-driven applications.
