New York AI Exchange

Building New York’s AI Future, Together

Artificial intelligence is increasingly woven into the systems and decisions that shape everyday life—from classrooms and research labs to startups, public agencies, and creative spaces. As these technologies reshape how power, opportunity, and innovation move through society, important questions emerge about their impact and direction. With the pace of adoption accelerating, the need for open, inclusive dialogue about AI’s future has never been greater.

The New York AI Exchange is our response: a hub for bold ideas, shared insight, and collective action.

About the Exchange

The NY AI Exchange brings together education, research, policy, industry, the arts, and the broader public into one shared conversation. Conceived under the leadership of Julia Stoyanovich and operated by the NYU Center for Responsible AI (R/AI), the Exchange is a partnership between R/AI and the City University of New York (CUNY) Office of the University Dean for Technology and Computing. Anchored in New York City while connected to national and global developments shaping the field, it convenes forums, policy discussions, research showcases, and public programs designed to spark collaboration, share knowledge, and shape the direction of AI.

Programming

The Exchange hosts in-person events at NYU and venues across the city, organized around themes such as:

  • AI, Demystified: Programs focused on AI literacy—from classrooms to community spaces—helping non-technical audiences understand and question the systems shaping their lives.

  • Community Dialogues: Candid discussions on governance, ethics, education, risk, and real-world impact across domains such as healthcare, hiring, and public service.

  • Workshops & Demos: Interactive gatherings led by researchers and practitioners, showcasing emerging tools, methods, and real-world applications.

  • AI for Businesses: Practical guidance for startups and small- and medium-sized businesses navigating AI adoption, compliance, and risk.
