Plus attend our upcoming livestreams on AI companions and Responsible Tech careers
👋We’re glad you’re here. In today’s newsletter, you’ll learn about our upcoming gathering in London in July on online safety, a livestream around AI companions, and a livestream on navigating a career transition.
💡All Tech Is Human, you may notice, covers a lot of topic areas spanning community-building activities, educational resources, and career support. This is entirely by design, as our organization is committed to building and strengthening the Responsible Tech ecosystem. Our field and bridge-building work since 2018 has helped seed numerous new organizations, promote knowledge-sharing and collaboration, and inspire the next generation of Responsible Tech leaders. We serve as an essential catalyst, with a whole-of-ecosystem approach that is needed to tackle thorny tech & society issues at the speed of tech.
📆In upcoming newsletters, be on the lookout for more information about our Safety by Design gathering in NYC, along with curated gatherings in SF and DC.

🥳We’re coming back to London!
We are thrilled to announce that All Tech Is Human will be holding a curated gathering for 250 individuals across civil society, government, industry, and academia focused on advancing online safety for all. This will be our fourth gathering in London, as we return to The Royal Society. We are currently putting together two panels, along with structured networking to connect with others who deeply care about building a better tech future.
Due to high demand, we anticipate receiving over 1,000 ticket requests (free for invited guests), with attendees traveling from across Europe and beyond. The first batch of invitations will be sent out in March, and capacity will be filled on a rolling basis.
📆We plan to add a smaller, curated Responsible AI gathering on the margins of our July 16 summit.
Also in London, we are partnering with techUK for a TechTogether program
