Shared Futures 2026 - A Reflection on the Day
Key inspiration and perspective on the day's conversations, performances, and experiments and what they mean for the future of AI and society.
Vilas Dhar, President, Patrick J. McGovern Foundation
On June 17, Shared Futures: The AI Forum brought together cultural architects, artists, inventors and thinkers to explore how AI is reshaping the way we live, create, connect, and evolve. Through performances, conversations, and experiments, the forum offers a glimpse of how AI can deepen, and not diminish, what makes us human. Co-hosted by Aspen Digital, a program of the Aspen Institute, and the Patrick J. McGovern Foundation, this one-day forum goes into the heart of what it means to imagine in an age of intelligent machines.
