AI x Values: Finding Your Compass

​As AI rapidly enters our work, homes, and daily decisions, many of us are navigating a mix of curiosity, hesitation, excitement, and concern- often without clear space to think it through.

​This Connection Conversation is a facilitated exploration of how AI is already shaping our lives, and how we want to relate to it moving forward. The session will be led by my friend and colleague Melissa Dunn, who has been deeply researching the evolving AI landscape and bringing a rigorous, values-based lens to understanding its risks, possibilities, and real-world implications.

​Using a clear and accessible framework, Melissa will guide us through a structured reflection to help us map where AI is already present in our lives, explore the tensions between its risks and benefits, and identify how our values can serve as a compass for decision-making.

​Through individual reflection, small group conversation, and shared inquiry, you’ll begin to articulate a values-centered approach to AI, one that is grounded in what matters most to you, rather than external pressure or default adoption.

​This is not a technical session. There are no right answers. Just a space to think clearly, honestly, and together.
