epda's autumn event 2026

What does it mean to be human in a world where artificial intelligence creates, communicates, and influences decisions?

Our fall conference “Human, After All” brings together philosophers, creative leaders, strategists, and innovators to explore this question from multiple perspectives. Rather than asking what AI can do, we ask what remains uniquely human, and why that matters more than ever. The event will reflect on authorship, the role of tools, and the enduring value of human perspective in an increasingly machine-driven world.
