De Kai @ Frontier Tower - Open Registration
The future of humanity is being written in code. During SF Tech Week, we invite you to one of the defining conversations of our era — led by De Kai, the visionary AI pioneer, inventor of the technology behind Google Translate, and one of TIME Magazine’s 100 most influential people in AI.
For over thirty years, De Kai has stood at the intersection of science, culture, and ethics — asking not just what artificial intelligence can do, but what kind of civilization it will help us become.
De Kai will launch his groundbreaking book Raising AI - a manifesto for humanity’s responsibility in shaping the intelligence we are bringing into the world. He will also make the founding announcement of the Empathetic AI Institute — a global movement dedicated to ensuring AI evolves with empathy, consciousness, and human values at its core.
✨ Why this matters
Hear directly from one of the most influential minds in AI
Engage in the global conversation on AI ethics, culture, and responsibility
Be among the first to receive and sign Raising AI — a book destined to become a cornerstone in the field
