Will AI take your job? Is regulation or deregulation better in the brave new world of AI, or is that a false binary? How do we reimagine leadership — and proactively build a vision of justice and hope — as AI radically transforms so many aspects of our work and world? This dialogue will take us from big-picture systems thinking to real-world application, exploring how ethical frameworks, moral imagination, and values-based leadership can help guide decision-making across disciplines.
Speakers:
Nishat Ruiter: General Counsel, TED Conferences; Founder, TEDLaw
Jamee K. Moudud: Professor of Economics, Sarah Lawrence College, Board of Directors Law and Political Economy Collective (LPEC), and Steering Committee, Association for the Promotion of Political Economy and the Law (APPEAL).
Josh Downer: Moderator, General Counsel to fast-growing start-ups in crypto and fintech.
We will explore how values-based leadership and social consciousness — centered on ethical principles such as the process of consultation, the oneness of humanity, and the elimination of prejudice — will help us lead with courage and integrity in the AI era. Our speakers will share case studies of their work, from transforming the future of legal education to interrogating the role of ethics and social justice in economics. These concerns will help us think about the skills, new theoretical insights, guiding principles, and moral imagination required for leaders across different professions to thrive — and to lead — with humanity. Through case studies and lived experience, we will examine:
The role of ethics and social justice in economic systems shaped by AI, and how this helps us understand the ecological and income inequality concerns of our age
How leaders can respond to structural change without losing human-centered values
What it means to build institutions, professions, and cultures that lead with both rigor and compassion and moral imagination
The session will include small-group breakouts, where participants will be invited to think through their own vision of leadership, justice, and hope in our age of AI.
