It’s not hard to understand what motivated Nvidia’s decision, given the news of the last 48 hours. Nvidia wanted to make this AI Summit (originally scheduled for October 15 and 16) the most important AI event of the year. The location was no coincidence either, as Israel is a country with a strong commitment to new technologies, and to AI in particular. Nearly 34 partners were expected to join Nvidia to discuss AI applications, including roundtables on:
- Autonomous vehicles.
- Cybersecurity.
- Development tools.
- Advanced AI .
- Generative AI.
- Healthcare .
- LLM .
- Networking .
- Omnivers .
- Supercomputers.
Obviously, the current situation is not conducive to the organization of an international convention, and the Greens have just officially communicated :
We hope you’ll read this message safe and sound. We regret to inform you that due to the current situation in Israel, we have decided to cancel AI SUMMIT, which was scheduled for October 15 and 16.
Our thoughts are with all those affected by the situation. The safety and well-being of our participants is our top priority, and we believe this is the best course of action to ensure everyone’s safety.
If you have made travel or accommodation arrangements, we recommend that you contact your service providers to review their policies. We appreciate your understanding and support during this very difficult time. Please do not hesitate to contact us at aisummitsupport@nvidia.com if you have any questions or concerns.
