Arvind Krishna, Chairman and CEO of IBM: The Future of Responsible Tech

Arvind Krishna looks a the camera. He wears a blue suit with a light blue collared shirt, and is standing in front of windows.

As IBM’s Chairman and CEO, Arvind Krishna leads the company’s mission to bring powerful new technologies to businesses responsibly and with clear purpose. IBM has for decades followed core principles, grounded in transparency and trust, that guide its development and deployment of new technologies such as generative AI. Under Arvind’s leadership, IBM has become a leading voice in AI ethics and is advancing responsible AI through partnerships, alliances and affiliations, including with the University of Notre Dame and the Vatican.

In this conversation with John Veihmeyer, former Global Chairman of KPMG and Chair of the University of Notre Dame’s Board of Trustees, Arvind will share his thoughts on how we can ensure AI—and someday soon, quantum computing—are forces for the common good.

This event is free and open to the public. No tickets are required.

2024 Notre Dame Forum: What Do We Owe Each Other?

As part of the celebration of the Inauguration of Rev. Robert A. Dowd, C.S.C., as the University of Notre Dame’s 18th President, join us for a series of “fireside chats” with global leaders in technology, philanthropy, corporate sustainability, and foreign affairs.

Since its establishment in 2005, each year the Notre Dame Forum invites campus-wide dialogue about issues of importance to the University, the nation, and the larger world. This year’s theme, chosen by Father Dowd, invites reflection on our responsibilities to one another. In a world where ideological and cultural divisions seem to have deepened, the Forum aims to bring people together across differences to face the most pressing challenges of our time.

Emcee: Meghan Sullivan, Wilsey Family College Professor of Philosophy and Founding Director of Notre Dame’s Institute for Ethics and the Common Good
