MIT Technology Review‘s longest-running AI business conference, EmTech AI (formerly known as EmTech Digital), returns to the MIT campus next year from May 5-7, 2025. As generative AI continues to become a way of life for business and humanity, the 2025 event brings the industry thought leaders into the same room with MIT Technology Review’s expertise and journalists to examine what’s on the horizon and what’s not yet on our radars.

For more than ten years, researchers, policymakers, and business and technology leaders have gathered at this event to understand the implications of AI breakthroughs from top experts in business, government, and academia. EmTech AI in May 2025 builds on this decade-long legacy and continues to chart for the future.

EmTech Digital was launched in 2013, addressing the use and innovations in the space of AI through the lens of digital transformation in business. Over time, generative AI has superseded the public consciousness and professional and mainstream conversations, making the switch in title from “EmTech Digital” to “EmTech AI” a natural shift for attendees.

Yoshua Bengio, Professor, Université de Montréal

Nick Clegg, President, Global Affairs, Meta

Geoffrey Hinton, Emeritus Professor, University of Toronto; Former Engineering Fellow, Google
