Boundaries of Tolerance Symposium 2026
Where should we draw the boundaries of responsible AI, and how can organizations put those boundaries into practice?
Boundaries of Tolerance Symposium 2026 explores the ethical foundations and practical challenges of enterprise AI governance. Bringing together perspectives from academia, business, and AI governance practice, the symposium examines the values and ethical boundaries that should guide AI development and adoption, as well as the responsibilities of business leaders in translating those principles into effective organizational governance.
The symposium also marks the launch of Jeffrey Saviano’s Boundaries of Tolerance: A Foundational Model for Ethical AI Strategy and Governance, featuring a keynote address by the author, an audience Q&A, and networking and book signing.
