Who Should Decide AI's Future? A Public Conversation on Governing Frontier Technology
As artificial intelligence reshapes everything from healthcare to democracy, one question grows more urgent: who gets to set the rules?
Join us for a vital public discussion on AI governance featuring perspectives from philosophy, law, industry, policy, and civil society.
Welcome Address by Philip S. Goldberg, U.S. Ambassador (Ret), NYU Distinguished Ambassador-in-Residence
Moderated by S. Matthew Liao (NYU - Director of the Center for Bioethics, Arthur Zitrin Professor of Bioethics)
This conversation brings together:
Kwame Anthony Appiah (NYU / The Ethicist, NYTimes) – Professor of Philosophy and Law
Seb Krier (Google DeepMind) – Frontier Policy Lead
Kenji Yoshino (NYU Law / Meta Oversight Board) – Chief Justice Earl Warren Professor of Constitutional Law
Rorry Daniels (Asia Society Policy Institute) – Managing Director
Victoria Nash (Oxford Internet Institute) – Senior Policy Fellow
Brad Carson (Americans for Responsible Innovation) – President
Why This Matters Now
AI systems are advancing faster than our ability to govern them. How do we balance innovation with accountability? What can we learn from regulating other technologies? And what role should the public play in decisions that will shape society for generations? This panel bridges the gap between expert deliberation and public understanding, offering accessible insights into one of our era's most consequential challenges.
Open to the Public. Reception to Follow.
Part of the NYU-KAIST Summit on Building Governance Infrastructure for Frontier AI, this event is supported by the Korea Foundation, the NYU-KAIST Global Innovation and Research Institute, and the NYU Center for Bioethics.
