For AI ethicists, technologists, and organizational leaders responsible for AI education and integration, our August 21st session represents an opportunity that stands apart from typical industry events. Our format includes two thought-provoking 20-minute panel discussions where experts challenge the full AI promise-to-peril spectrum. After each panel, you’ll break out to discuss, question, build on, or challenge what you heard in small groups- this is where your expertise, curiosity, and insight matter. Our goal is to elevate the broadcast style of most webinars, shifting from “audience” to “activists” as we work together to humanize technology one conversation at a time. Each interactive session will examine how emerging technologies can be purposefully designed to enhance human connection, creativity, and collective growth. It will also offer a gathering place where participants can network naturally, share insights, and build meaningful professional relationships while exploring how together we can shape technology to serve humanity's highest aspirations.
