As AI reshapes the foundations of work, governance, education, and human connection, the Digital Ethics Center will convene leading experts for a two-day Summit on the society we are already building and the choices that will define it.
The first generation of AI policy focused, rightly, on managing risks and writing rules. A more urgent question is now in view: what kind of society are we designing? Post-AI society is not a distant prospect but the world we are already entering, one that calls for new thinking on accountability, identity, labor, democracy, and human flourishing. TAPASS brings together researchers, policymakers, industry leaders, civil society advocates, and educators to move the conversation from risk mitigation to long-term design with ethical clarity, democratic legitimacy, and human welfare at the center.
By invitation only.
