Please join All Tech Is Human for a thought-provoking livestream, “Everyone Should Shape the Future of AI: Ensuring Public Input,” on Thursday, April 30th at 1pm ET. In this conversation, ATIH founder David Ryan Polgar will be joined by Faisal Lalani to explore one of the most urgent questions of our time: who gets a voice in shaping artificial intelligence? As AI systems increasingly influence daily life, this discussion will examine how to move beyond a narrow set of decision-makers and ensure that diverse communities, especially those historically underrepresented, have a meaningful role in guiding technological development. As we like to say at All Tech Is Human, if you’re impacted by technology than you deserve a seat at the proverbial table.

 

Faisal Lalani brings a deeply global perspective shaped by a decade of on-the-ground work across more than a dozen countries. From studying education systems in rural Nepal to building community wireless networks in South African townships, his work has focused on bridging gaps between people and power. Now serving as Head of Global Partnerships at the Collective Intelligence Project and Executive Director of We Are One Humanity, Faisal collaborates across AI labs, governments, and civil society to advance more inclusive approaches to emerging technologies. Together, David and Faisal will discuss practical pathways for incorporating public input into AI governance and why broad participation is essential to building a more equitable future. Join us!

The Collective Intelligence Project (CIP) has been working for years to channel public input into places of power. Through global surveys and participatory evaluations, CIP has produced one of the world’s largest datasets on what people from all over the globe actually think about AI. They are now hiring three researchers who will spend six months analyzing this data and producing research on topics like trust in institutions or public values and attitudes around AI. More information can be found here.

This is part of All Tech Is Human’s bi-monthly livestream series. All Tech Is Human takes a whole-of-ecosystem approach in tackling thorny tech & society issues, and helps strengthen the global Responsible Tech movement. Together, we co-create a better tech future that is aligned with the public interest.
