Gone are the days when artificial intelligence (AI) was just making its mark across the world. Although the concepts of AI have been around for quite some time now, technology has only shown signs of maturity in the past couple of decades.
The adoption of artificial intelligence across the world has grown significantly in the last few years. In fact, AI usage across various industries around the world was tipped to generate $2.9 trillion of business value [1]. Besides, as business leaders continue to focus on digital transformation, AI continues to gain immense popularity.
As AI continues to make inroads, a number of AI events, summits, and conferences are organized in different parts of the world. Such events bring people together who have a shared interest in artificial intelligence. Besides, they come together to talk about different innovations, techniques and absorb information from thought leaders.
In this article, we are going to take a look at some of the unmissable AI events in 2022 every AI pundit should attend.

Final words
While these 9 events are arguably some of the most awaited AI events in the first half of 2022, there are a few other events that will feature interesting ideas and concepts.
Some of these events include Intelligent Health Tech Conference 2022, The European Chatbot and Conversational AI Summit, AI Tech World 2022, DigiMarCon Florida 2022, and more.
There are several events that are themed in such a way that participants can design their own AI event. Time will tell whether the Omicron variant will dent the possibility of hosting these events physically. However, as things stand, we are very excited to see new ideas, concepts, and AI-tech evolve in these AI events in 2022.
