​✨ #4 Responsible AI Talks: Living With AI - Are We Ready?
📅 Tuesday, 28 April 2026 | 18:00- 21:00

​⚠️ Limited spots available
Please update your RSVP if your plans change so others can join.

​As AI becomes embodied and enters our physical environments, new challenges and questions emerge at the intersection of technology, policy, and everyday life: how do trust, responsibility, and everyday decisions evolve when AI becomes a presence?

​For this edition, we’re bringing this conversation to life.

​🎤 Guest speaker: Emily Kate Genatowski
AI Domestic Robotics Researcher working at the intersection of technology, policy, and lived experience.

​Emily is a historian and PhD Candidate at The University of Vienna with a backgrund spanning Harvard, Columbia, Google Arts & Culture (collaborating with institutions such as NASA and the White House).

​Through immersive research - including living with Tova, a Unitree bipedal humanoid robot, for a year - Emily investigates the real-world frictions shaping our AI future: from legal gaps and infrastructure to trust, identity, and everyday coexistence.

​🤖 And yes, you’ll also meet Tova, joining us for this session.

​ Expect an interactive evening with:

  • ​grounded, hands-on insights

  • ​real-life inspired scenarios

  • ​a space to reflect together across disciplines
