Humans In Charge International Symposium
on AI Ethics, Policy, and Governance

The Humans in Charge International Symposium, hosted by the NMHH (National Media and Infocommunications Authority), is an exclusive, invitation-only event dedicated to advancing the responsible use of artificial intelligence. Held for the second time in October 2024, the symposium convenes leading minds in AI ethics, regulation, policy, and governance from across the globe to address the critical challenges and opportunities presented by AI technologies.

A Transformative Platform for Responsible AI
Building on the exceptional success of its earlier session, Humans in Charge is establishing itself as a pioneering platform in the realm of Responsible AI. Unlike conventional conferences, the event emphasizes fostering a practice-oriented transformation—connecting high-level theoretical discussions with tangible, actionable outcomes that drive global progress in AI governance.

A Gathering of Global Leaders
Our symposium brings together a unique blend of expertise and perspectives. Esteemed speakers from major corporations, government institutions, academic circles, and influential international organizations contribute to a vibrant and enriching dialogue. The event is not only a forum for intellectual exchange but also a community of practice where the future of AI governance is actively shaped.

Our Mission: Keeping Humans in Charge
Humans in Charge is more than an annual event — it is a movement. Our goal is to foster a diverse and expert-driven community dedicated to operationalizing AI governance. By exploring pressing ethical, regulatory, and policy questions alongside practical implementation challenges, we aim to build a future where machine intelligence is optimized responsibly—and humanity remains firmly at the helm.

Humans In Charge 2024
Let’s set Responsible AI in Motion!

Hosted by the National Media and Infocommunications Authority (NMHH), the Humans In Charge 2024 international symposium brought together global experts to discuss the most pressing issues in artificial intelligence ethics, regulation, policy, and governance. Now in its second year, the event provided a platform for thought leaders from Europe, the US, the UAE, New Zealand, and beyond to share insights and practical solutions for navigating the complexities of AI in a rapidly evolving world.

Building on the success of the inaugural symposium in 2023, this year's event expanded to a two-day format, allowing for deeper engagement with the topics at hand. With AI governance becoming increasingly crucial amid the growing adoption of AI technologies and the implementation of the EU AI Act, the symposium provided a timely opportunity for stakeholders to engage in meaningful discussions and exchange actionable insights.

Our distinguished speakers engaged in a dynamic range of plenary sessions, keynote speeches, panel discussions, and workshops, offering participants practical knowledge and forward-thinking perspectives on the operationalization of AI governance. The symposium also fostered the creation of a global community of practice, bringing together representatives from governments, corporations, academia, and international organizations.

Humans In Charge 2024 has cemented its position as a key event in the ongoing dialogue on responsible AI, with an emphasis on practical guidance and collaborative action to ensure that AI remains a tool that is shaped by human oversight and accountability.
