A 1-day symposium to launch the AHA research program 

AI is here to stay, but how do we ensure that people flourish in a world of pervasive AI use? The MIT Media Lab’s Advancing Humans with AI (AHA) research program is excited to announce its inaugural symposium with a goal of discussing what is arguably one of the most important questions of our time: What future with AI do we want to live in and how can we design and deploy AI that improves the human experience? 

Panels, talks and discussions will dive into AI’s impact along several dimensions of human existence including: 

Interior life, examining personal growth and emotional wellbeing, 

Social life, examining interpersonal connections and social information networks,

Vocational life, examining professional fulfillment and the future experience of work, 

Cerebral life, examining learning, creativity and intellectual growth, and

Creative life, examining how we express ourselves and create meaningful experiences. 

In between panel sessions, Media Lab researchers will present thought provoking demonstrations and sneak peeks into relevant research.
