SUMMARY:Responsible Tech Summit 2026; From Principles to Power: Embedding Accountability in the AI Era
DESCRIPTION:​At a time when artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping society\, the conversation is shifting from broad principles to real-world accountability. The 2026 summit will explore the theme of Principles to Power: Embedding Accountability in the AI Era. For years\, the Responsible Tech field has been guided by ethical frameworks\, voluntary commitments\, and emerging standards. Today\, the challenge is clear: how do we translate those ideas into systems of governance\, oversight\, and design that ensure innovation does not come at the expense of safety\, rights\, or trust? \n​The Responsible Tech Summit is designed as a curated convening for 375 leaders that helps align and shape the direction of the movement. Participants will include global governance leaders\, AI researchers\, industry practitioners\, policy experts\, civil society advocates\, and philanthropic leaders who are building the infrastructure of accountability for the digital age. Through keynotes\, panels\, and conversations\, attendees will explore topics such as accountability by design\, platform oversight\, youth online safety\, the Responsible Tech economy\, and the evolving global regulatory landscape. \n​All ticket proceeds fund free resources and services for the Responsible Tech community that our organization provides. Can’t make it in person? The event will be livestreamed for free on All Tech Is Human’s YouTube page\, where recordings will also be available afterward.

SUMMARY:Their Ad\, Your Vote: A Media Literacy Look at Political Advertising
DESCRIPTION:Political ads are everywhere this election season — on TV\, in our feeds\, and in our mailboxes. This session with Dr. Elizabeth Ortiz of Media Literacy Week Lehigh Valley takes a closer look at real political ads and practices asking the questions media literacy is built on: Who made this\, and who paid for it? What techniques is it using to get my attention and my vote? What’s left out? Students and families will leave with simple tools for evaluating political messages together at home. Follows the Political Pulse Live! broadcast at Northampton Community College’s Fowler Family Southside Center\, 511 East 3rd Street\, Bethlehem\, PA 18015.
