Next Conversations: Who Governs the Machine? Rules, Responsibilities, and the Public Good

150 years ago, Johns Hopkins was founded on the premise that rigorously pursued and freely shared knowledge can improve the human condition. Today, AI systems absorb, reproduce, and act on that knowledge at unprecedented scale, presenting both remarkable opportunities and serious challenges.

Who writes the rules that govern AI? Who bears the costs when it fails? And what responsibility does the research university carry in this moment of technological transformation?

Join scholars, policymakers, technologists, and journalists as they grapple with one of the defining questions of our time and explore what it takes to make AI serve the public good.

Followed by: Exploration and Discovery in Space: A Fireside Chat with NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman

Recorded Monday, Sept. 14 | 6 p.m. | Theater, Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg Center in Washington, DC
