Throughout the course of history, the human species has been defined by its ability to develop symbolic language, employ sophisticated reasoning, and engage in complex problem-solving. Now, with the rise of artificial intelligence and machine learning surpassing some of those capacities, we have the opportunity to reconsider what makes us human.

This year’s event will elevate the voices and stories of individuals whose work is rooted in a core aspect of humanity. Our collection of speakers will serve as a deep reminder that what makes us human goes far beyond the capacity of any present or future digital landscape.
