“Humanity in the AI Era” at IEEE Future Networks
Time: March 18, 2026
Location: online

The current era of rapid AI evolution presents both promising benefits and complex risks. Global conversations increasingly recognize ethics as an essential foundation for successful AI adoption, affirming a humanity-centered approach for collective betterment. This talk explores what this means in practice, reflecting on the broader implications of responsible AI, how technological trajectories can shape societies in materially different ways, and how these ideas connect to widely shared global goals, drawing on some recent examples. Participants will also be encouraged to think through some forward-looking action steps that could help individuals and institutions to better adopt AI responsibly and harness the opportunities this moment presents. The discussion is structured to be accessible for participants across digital literacy levels.

Time: January 12, 2026
Location: Online

Recent developments, including the Doha Political Declaration, have increasingly underscored the urgency of strengthening civic dialogue and advancing multistakeholder cooperation capable of shaping implementation at scale. Yet to move from vision to impact requires systemic transformation.

In this strategic session, we take a system-level look at the structural conditions required for meaningful participation and practical frameworks civil society organizations can take away to strengthen positioning, increase influence, and operate more effectively within global ecosystems.

All sectors are welcomed to join this event.
