As AI systems become increasingly embedded in everyday life, questions of data ethics, privacy, equity, and accountability are more urgent than ever.

This thought-provoking evening brings together leading voices from industry and academia to explore what it means to build AI systems that respect human dignity from the ground up—starting with data. From design and collection to modeling and deployment, how do we center people, values, and context in every step of the AI lifecycle?
