The Global AI Inclusion & Ethics Conference
May 16-18, 2027 | Philadelphia + Virtual
The future of technology is not "on its way." It's already here. AI is moving from being a technology discussion to a people, business, culture, and societal transformation conversation. In fact, modern technology won't be defined solely by what AI can do—the next generation of people and institutions that use AI will value it based on whether they can trust, access, and benefit from it, as well as see themselves reflected in the design.
Building human trust in AI cannot be accomplished by one company, one industry, or one discipline. It requires a global community working together to define what trustworthy AI means, elevate diverse voices, share best practices, and turn ethical principles into meaningful action.
Join HLTWai™ for its AI Inclusion & Ethics Conference in Philadelphia on May 16th-18th. This hybrid event is called FIATE 2027. In Spanish, the term FIATE translates into the word: trust. It is our assertion that the Future of Insight, Accessibility, Thought-leadership, and Engagement requires us to transform systems that society trusts at work and in the marketplace. FIATE 2027 gives you a chance to understand the broader picture rather than focusing only on tools and capabilities.
Our goal is not simply to discuss responsible AI-- but to leave with shared principles, practical solutions, meaningful partnerships, and commitments that move trust from an aspiration to an action. Won't you join us? Participate in this meaningful and visionary movement to re-imagine systems that society trusts! #FIATE2027
This Isn't Your Typical Conference
This conference sits at an intersection that very few technology events address well: AI and emerging technology + the people who will actually live with its consequences.
The biggest mistake organizations can make is treating inclusion as something you address after a model is finished. FIATE 2027 brings diverse human perspectives into the design, development and deployment process itself. That means learning how to ask better questions before AI becomes embedded in workplaces, marketplaces, and other trusted systems.
A typical AI conference might focus on models, productivity, automation, investment, or implementation. FIATE 2027 adds the human perspective. Finally, our expert facilitators will utilize a variety of teaching methods-- accommodating unique ways of processing information, framing problems, and analyzing situations.
Destination: Philadelphia
Philadelphia is the birthplace of America, convening the first and second continental delegations. Since its founding in 1682, Philadelphia has become a significant historic, cultural, and economic center. As a major hub, Philadelphia offers an opportunity to further develop a technology corridor that rivals Research Triangle Park, Cummings Research Park, and Silicon Valley.
Philadelphia is centrally located and has access to tier-one AI research institutions with advanced labs focused on machine learning, robotics, and applied AI. Further, Philadelphia provides close proximity to the largest biotech, life sciences, and pharmaceutical cluster in the world.
According to VisitPhilly.com, Philadelphia wrote America's story. It makes sense for the City to write the next chapter by serving as the host for one of the most important conversations of our time. Note: The in-person conference is limited to 500 participants. Register early to reserve your spot.
