The Future Society

Seminars & Summits

The Future Society works with leading organizations around the world to bring together policymakers, technologists, academics, civil society, and business leaders in the effort to establish globally-recognized norms for the ethical development and deployment of technology across our societies.

This work is enabled by high-profile partnerships and a continuing series of summits, forums, and other gatherings. These spark new thinking and provide continuity to the global dialogue on the governance and impact of Artificial Intelligence.
