Sarbat AI & Impact Conference

01 · Why this summit

A conversation every community should be having.

Technology, whether it is AI, robotics, quantum, and more, is disrupting everything. It presents both opportunity and peril — for individuals, communities, nations, and the world. Conversations about its impact need to happen at every level.

The Sarbat AI & Impact Conference exists to foster that dialog inside the Sikh community. It is built to educate, and to encourage tech luminaries, entrepreneurs, social activists, students, and the broader community to become proactive in shaping the future.

It is about understanding the impact of the technological changes that us happening, and about having an impact through the work that we do.
