Author of “AI for People and Business: A Framework for Better Human Experiences and Business Success” and INDYCAR racing engineer and data scientist Alex Castrounis will deliver the opening keynote at the Intellectual Property Awareness Summit® on March 28th.
Mr. Castrounis is CEO of Why of AI, which helps businesses to use AI intelligently. He is a professor of AI for Northwestern University’s Kellogg & McCormick MBAi program and has more than 20 years experience advising startups to Fortune 100 companies about using data, analytics, and AI models to drive business growth.
More than ChatGPT
AI is more than large language models, like OpenAI’s ChaptGPT, that have quickly inserted themselves into the inventive and creative processes. AI supports 
big data analysis, enterprise productivity and machine learning, such as resource-preserving robots that can mimic human behavior. This year’s IPAS theme is “AI + IP = ?” The goal: sharing information and ideas leading to an action plan that supports creators, businesses and the public.
Expanded Program
The IPAS program, expanded for 2024, will draw upon a range of thought-leaders, all with a common goal: to better understand the impact of AI on patents, copyrights, design and trade secrets, as well as IP rights’ influence on AI.
This year’s Summit is being held by the Center for Intellectual Property Understanding (CIPU), a non-partisan non-profit in conjunction with the McCormick School of Engineering and Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. It will take place at the conducive Allen Center on NW’s Evanston Campus less than 30 minutes from O’Hare Airport.
In addition to the morning keynote by Mr. Castrounis, IPAS 2024 will feature five timely panels, a featured afternoon speaker to be announced, two breakout sessions for all to participate in, 20+ speakers, as well as multiple networking opportunities. A light lunch will be served. A reception with drinks and hors d’oeuvres will follow the final panel. A nominal administrative fee covers the cost of food and conference overhead.
Attendees will include IP owners of all types and sizes, entrepreneurs, inventors and other creators, educators, AI developers, lawyers, journalists and investors.
