​PLAITS 2025: Privacy and Liberty in the Age of AI and Immersive Technologies

​As AI, immersive tech, and algorithmic systems become embedded in daily life, how do we preserve privacy, autonomy, and shared reality?

​PLAITS 2025 is a FREE, one-day conference at Johns Hopkins University exploring the urgent societal impacts of emerging technologies—from smart glasses and brain-computer interfaces to generative AI and surveillance infrastructure.

​Join thought leaders in neuroscience, cybersecurity, national security, public policy, and tech ethics for panels, interactive workshops, and hands-on conversations. Hosted in collaboration with Princeton University, PLAITS offers a rare space for meaningful dialogue and real-world problem solving.
