As technology becomes more embedded in our daily lives, we must ask: How can we ensure that the systems we build empower individuals rather than control them? How do we design digital infrastructures that respect privacy, autonomy, and dignity while fostering collaboration?
The Human-Aligned Tech Workshop is an immersive, interdisciplinary session that brings together thinkers, builders, and creatives to explore the principles of self-sovereign digital personhood, decentralized governance, and trust-minimized authentication. Through structured discussions, creative exercises, and hands-on ideation, participants will engage with The Covenant, a framework that envisions a future where human agency remains at the heart of technological evolution.
