Grateful! That’s my sentiment as the inaugural Tech and Summit draws to a close at Heising-Simons Foundation with Dr. Joy Buolamwini and Safiya Noble, Ph.D. in conversation. 🍃We opened the summit with our board chair and vice chair Liz Simons and Mark Heising welcoming with opening remarks 🍃Alondra Nelson spoke on Governing the Future — drawing on the lessons of past scientific inquiry to inform future visions 🍃Nabiha Syed and Ami Fields-Meyer in conversation with me on the First AI Election 🍃 Each of our attendees could have been a speaker given the incredible expertise and wisdom in the room … grateful for the conversations in the room and as we go forward #philanthropy #technology #ai
