2024 Featured Keynote Speaker
Jacob Ward, NBC News technology correspondent on the social implications of technology discussed how artificial intelligence is changing the way we live and think.
The former editor-in-chief of Popular Science magazine, Ward writes for The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker and Wired. His ten-episode Audible podcast, Complicated, discusses humanity’s most difficult problems, and he’s the host of the four-hour public television series Hacking Your Mind, about human decision making and irrationality–streaming via PBS and Amazon Prime Video.
Previously, Ward was a 2018-2019 Berggruen Fellow at Stanford University’s Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, where he worked on "Black Box: Bias, AI, and the Fight to Amplify Humanity," which explored the unintended ways artificial intelligence amplifies good and bad human instincts.
Ward is the author of The Loop: How Technology is Creating a World Without Choices and How to Fight Back (2022).

"The classes, sessions and conversations with other board members from across the country are far and away some of the most enlightening and informative information you can get.
