ANSI is excited to announce that prestigious industry experts will be speakers at the Summit.
- Elham Tabassi, director of the Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technology Initiative and senior fellow, Global Economy and Development for The Brookings Institution, will deliver a keynote at the Summit’s conference on AI and manufacturing: Manufacturing Revolution: Building on AI Success in Smart Production and Supply Chains. Tabassi joined Brookings following a distinguished career at the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST), where she most recently served as the NIST’s chief AI advisor; in 2023, TIME named her one of the 100 most influential people in AI.
- Miranda Means, partner, Kirkland & Ellis LLP, will provide the morning keynote at the October 23 ANSI Legal Issues Forum, ahead of the panel, “Navigating the Emerging Frontier of Artificial Intelligence.” Her practice focuses on litigation and counseling in the fields of copyright, trade secret, trademark, right of publicity, art, internet and advertising law, and American Lawyer named her as a “Litigator of the Week” in connection with her work on the first AI copyright fair use case in United States legal history.

Shils professor of law and professor of political science, and director of the Penn Program on Regulation, University of Pennsylvania, will give the afternoon keynote at the Legal Issues Forum, introducing the panel, “Pioneering the New Wild West: Standards and Self-Governance After Deregulation.” Coglianese specializes in the study of administrative law and regulatory processes, with an emphasis on the empirical evaluation of alternative processes and strategies and the role of public participation, technology, and business-government relations in policymaking.
