Decoding AI at the 2027 Global Ethics Summit
AI has run through nearly every ethics and compliance conversation for two years, and the risk it creates still starts with people. Emily Rickaby, Vice President, Content, Ethisphere, gives host Bill Coffin, Editor-in-Chief, Ethisphere, an early look at the 2027 Global Ethics Summit and its theme, “Human-Centered, AI-Assisted.” Rickaby explains how AI shifts where risk sits, why AI governance needs a process that keeps it adaptable, and who answers when an agent gets something wrong. She also previews the human side of the agenda: keeping speak-up person-to-person, rethinking champion networks, board engagement, and Programs in Action sessions from BWXT and GE Vernova, including how to develop junior staff when AI absorbs the tasks that once trained them.
