Humans In Charge 2024 - International Symposium
on AI Ethics, Policy, and Governance

Hosted by the NMHH (National Media and Infocommunications Authority), this invitation-only event, which is now held for the second time, aims to convene luminaries in the field of the responsible use of artificial intelligence from across the globe, focusing on the profound and pivotal topics of AI ethics, regulation, policy, and governance.

Building upon the remarkable success and quality of its inaugural session in 2023, Humans in Charge is on track for becoming a household name for its special approach on fostering a practice-oriented transformation of “Responsible AI” worldwide.

This year the Symposium is poised to ascend to new heights of relevance and influence. Now spanning two days, our agenda is designed to interweave the depth, breadth, and practical know-how transfer of AI governance, highlighting the critical transition from theoretical frameworks to actionable insights. Moreover, with the parallel waves of organizations adopting AI and the EU AI Act being a reality, there is a justified sense of urgency that adds to the momentum and need for practical guidance. 

Our prestigious speakers – coming from the EU, the US, the UAE, New Zealand and other regions – offer invaluable perspectives on our thematic explorations, contributing to a rich tapestry of dialogues and insights. The symposium is structured to ensure a dynamic and interactive experience for all participants, featuring plenary sessions, keynote addresses, panel discussions, and hands-on workshops, all aimed at equipping our distinguished guests with practical and actionable insights. 

Humans in Charge 2024 is not just an annual international event but a nexus where the future of AI governance is shaped. Our ambition is to organize a gathering as well as to foster a nascent community of practice that reflects both diversity and expertise, featuring the leading representatives from major corporations, governments, academia, and influential international bodies. With a keen focus on operationalizing AI governance, we seek to explore and address high-level questions and operational challenges in equal measure, paving the way for a future that optimizes machine intelligence responsibly – and that keeps humans in charge.

The Symposium is a private, invitation-only event. If you would like to participate in the Symposium, please get in touch with us,  or please fill out the registration form.
We will get back to you to confirm if your registration is accepted.
