Technology enthusiasts, professionals and policymakers will convene at the inaugural Tech Nebraska Summit to discuss the state’s tech trajectory, workforce diversity, and advocate for pro-growth policies. The event, scheduled for November 28 from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Embassy Suites in downtown Lincoln, is a collaborative effort by Tech Nebraska and the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Beth Tsai, Director for Search, Geo and Assistant Policy under Google’s Trust & Safety Team is headlining the summit. Tsai will share insights into maintaining user safety while advancing the mission to provide high-quality information. Her address will also delve into Google’s approach to handling sensitive content in large language models.
“A big opportunity exists with AI to boost economies, but we also recognize concerns about its potential workforce disruptions. We want to collaborate with policymakers and tech professionals to prepare the workforce for positive AI utilization,” Tsai stated.
The summit’s agenda includes sessions on “The State of Tech in Nebraska” and panels featuring technology leaders from Kiewit, Lutz and Children’s Nebraska. A panel discussion with technology policy leaders from Federation of American Scientists, TechNet and the Technology Association of Iowa will explore the broader policy landscape.
