​Keynote Speaker

​Dr. Safiya U. Noble, a UCLA scholar and MacArthur Fellow, leads critical discourse on tech's societal impacts. Her acclaimed book, "Algorithms of Oppression," highlights bias in search engines. As a tech justice advocate, she pioneers research on algorithmic discrimination and champions equity in the digital age, calling for policy and structural interventions. Dr. Noble's mission extends to structural changes in AI governance, advocating for regulations to safeguard against discriminatory practices and environmental impacts while empowering individuals with greater control over their digital lives. Outside of her rich academic career, she also consults for the White House, the Office of the Vice President, the FTC, and more. 

​Special Address: Congressman Ted Lieu

​As a legislator, Mr. Lieu has established himself as a leader on artificial intelligence; the environment; cybersecurity; civil liberties; foreign affairs and veterans. Time Magazine recognized Ted as one of the 100 Most Influential People in AI. He has spoken at a variety of AI conferences, including at Harvard and Cornell.

​AI and Democracy Panel

​2024 is a pivotal election year globally, with key elections taking place in the United States, India, Brazil, Russia, and dozens of others. During these election cycles, AI will have a potential major impact on these electoral processes, both positively and negatively.  Dialogue here will focus on topics including potential AI disruptions, potential responses to AI use, and how best to respond to AI's effects on democracy generally.

​Responsible AI Development Panel

​As AI becomes increasingly powerful, accessible, and prevalent in our world, a major topic has become AI development. This panel will focus on how to develop responsible AI.  Specifically, how and whether key stakeholders emphasize values of equality, transparency, and accessibility when developing new AI tools.
