Taking responsibility: AI’s human and environmental impact | IASEAI '26

Who is responsible for the real-world impacts of artificial intelligence—on people, institutions, and the environment? This breakout session from IASEAI '26 explores how AI systems are evaluated, governed, and deployed in ways that affect public trust, societal wellbeing, and long-term outcomes. From benchmarking and environmental claims to child safety and human-centered design, speakers examine what it means to build AI systems that are accountable in practice—not just in principle.
