GAINESVILLE, Fla. - s4story -- Gainesville, FL — Artificial intelligence is everywhere—but clarity is not. Artifact™ Summit | AI: What About It? is a timely, high-energy gathering designed to cut through the noise and confront the real questions leaders, founders, educators, and communities are asking about AI today.

Hosted by Artifact™, a human-centered strategy and innovation firm, the summit brings together nationally respected voices and emerging innovators to explore what AI actually means for business, talent, creativity, life sciences, and society—not in theory, but in practice. Designed to be practical, provocative, and deeply human, the event prioritizes meaningful dialogue over hype, grounded in the belief that better conversations lead to better outcomes.

The speaker lineup, Moderated by Amy Cosper, award-winning editor, storyteller, and former Editor-in-Chief of Entrepreneur magazine, reflects that mission, featuring thought leaders who shape how innovation is built, communicated, and scaled:

• Jose Velasco, technology and innovation leader bridging strategy, systems, and real-world application
• Runbin Dong, AI researcher and builder bringing technical depth to responsible, forward-looking AI development
• Grace Callahan, strategist and operator focused on talent, transformation, and the human side of emerging technology

"AI is the nuclear energy paradigm of our time. Its unprecedented potential to uplift humanity is as significant as its potential for misuse." said Jose Velasco, Sr. VP of Strategic Operations, Autism Society of America & Corporate Advisor for neuromatch™.
