As we continue our Business AI Ethics journey at the Harvard University Edmond & Lily Safra Center for Ethics, we are excited to announce an upcoming forum focused on the critical intersection of business and AI ethics. Our aim is to convene a select group of corporate board directors who are not only interested in advancing AI initiatives within their organizations but are also deeply committed to fostering responsible and ethical AI practices.
The forum, tentatively scheduled for June 18th on the Harvard campus, will provide a unique opportunity for up to 20 directors to come together for a half-day session. During the Forum, participants will examine key issues surrounding AI Ethics, drawing upon the insights and research from our Business AI Ethics research team and leading scholars from the Harvard community.
We are seeking directors for two distinct purposes:
1. Engage with Our Forum Team in Preparation
We invite a small group of directors to actively engage with our Forum team in the preparation leading up to the session. Your valuable input and perspective will help shape the agenda, ensuring that the Forum addresses the most pressing concerns facing corporate boards today.
2. Participate in the Forum
For directors who wish to participate directly in the Forum, we welcome your presence and contribution. This will be an opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions, share experiences, and gain valuable insights from fellow board members and experts in the field.
If you are a corporate board director committed to ethical AI leadership and interested in either (or both) of these opportunities, we encourage you to reach out to Jeff at jeffreysaviano@fas.harvard.edu. Please include information about your corporate board director responsibilities and your interest in AI ethics.
