SUMMARY:Designing AI for Human Thriving
LOCATION:JW Marriott / Salon D
DESCRIPTION:AI safety won’t be solved with better guardrails. The real question is what we train AI to optimize for. Anastasia Uglova\, founder of Better Half and the technologist behind “agentic tech\,” argues that today’s systems reward engagement and dependency – especially in the relational domain. What if we designed AI for agency and human thriving instead? This talk explores why relationships are AI’s highest-risk and highest-potential frontier and how a new design philosophy could unlock entirely new forms of social technology.
