As AI systems become more capable and autonomous, the way we work is being fundamentally reshaped. One of the most exciting frontiers is collaborative AI—agents that work with humans, not instead of them, to achieve complex goals. But how do we ensure this partnership promotes human flourishing rather than displacing it?

This event explores the fast-evolving field of human–AI collaboration, asking urgent questions about how we design systems that respect and amplify human agency:

  • How do we ensure AI agents collaborate meaningfully rather than replace human workers?
  • What principles support productive, human-centered design in mixed human-AI teams?
  • How can AI systems adapt to individual communication styles and preferences?
  • Who decides which tasks should be automated, and which remain human-led?
  • What models work best for sharing responsibility between humans and AI?

Join us as we unpack the opportunities and challenges of working with AI—and explore what it means to thrive in a world where humans and machines increasingly act as teammates.
