Join All Tech Is Human's founder, David Ryan Polgar, for a fireside chat with Center for Humane Technology's Camille Carlton about what it means to be human in the age of AI. We're told AI will give us everything we want, instantly and effortlessly — the perfect playlist, the ideal trip, the answer to any question.But a decade of algorithmic recommendation systems already showed us what happens when a handful of platforms decide what culture we see: our tastes narrow, our choices converge, and the same songs, restaurants, and aesthetics rise to the top everywhere. What's less visible is why. To build a system that can predict and automate what we want, AI companies need something from us first: the intangible, hard-to-quantify parts of being human — our words, our habits, our relationships, our inner lives — turned into data, and data into product. This is the monetization of the human experience, and it's the engine behind the frictionless world being sold to us. The more of ourselves we hand over, the more "effortless" the system gets and the less room is left for the friction that actually makes us who we are.

At a time when artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping society, the conversation is shifting from broad principles to real-world accountability. The 2026 summit will explore the theme of Principles to Power: Embedding Accountability in the AI Era. For years, the Responsible Tech field has been guided by ethical frameworks, voluntary commitments, and emerging standards. Today, the challenge is clear: how do we translate those ideas into systems of governance, oversight, and design that ensure innovation does not come at the expense of safety, rights, or trust? The Responsible Tech Summit is designed as a highly curated convening for 375 leaders that helps align and shape the direction of the movement. Participants will include global governance leaders, AI researchers, industry practitioners, policy experts, civil society advocates, and philanthropic leaders who are building the infrastructure of accountability for the digital age. Through keynotes, panels, and conversations, attendees will explore topics such as accountability by design, platform oversight, youth online safety, the Responsible Tech economy, and the evolving global regulatory landscape. All ticket proceeds fund free resources and services for the Responsible Tech community that our organization provides. Can't make it in person? The event will be livestreamed for free on All Tech Is Human's YouTube page, where recordings will also be available afterward. – Are you a journalist looking to potentially cover the Responsible Tech Summit?
