Harrison adds that by engaging with these influential leaders, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the profound impact of AI and Exponential IT on the future of technology and how to harness these innovations to drive their organizations forward.

Dr. Gebru's departure from Google after authoring a pivotal research paper on the risks of large language models (LLMs) ignited a labor movement that resulted in the formation of the first tech workers' union at Google. Her trail-blazing efforts to reduce the potential negative impacts of AI have earned her global recognition.

Whittaker's work at New York University's AI Now Institute has helped shape global AI policy. During her time at Google, she founded its Open Research Group and co-founded M-Lab, the world's largest open data source on internet performance. Whittaker gained notable recognition as a key organizer of the Google walkouts and for her role in a protest against Google's involvement in a military drone AI surveillance program.
