Keynote speakers

Catie Cuan

CEO, Zenie, and Postdoctoral Scientist, Stanford University

Catie Cuan works at the intersection of artificial intelligence, human-robot interaction, and art, leading Zenie, a consumer AI company, and the art and robotics efforts at the new Stanford Robotics Center.

Jeffrey Ding

Lawrence Lessig

Roy L. Furman Professor of Law and Leadership, Harvard Law School

In his 1999 book, “Code: and Other Laws Of Cyberspace”, Lawrence Lessig put forth the idea that code is the most significant form of law governing cyberspace, and that it is up to lawyers, policymakers, and especially citizens to decide what value that code embodies. Twenty-five years later this idea remains centrally relevant as professionals look to define and implement digital governance throughout their institutions.
