If you care about the future of humanity, and you want to actually do something about it, keep watching.
If that sounds like you, there's a place here.

And that's a wrap! I had a GREAT time at
@humantechweek . In a world where technology is advancing at a dizzying pace, it was so satisfying to return to the basics and fundamentals–connecting in person as human beings for great conversations.
Thank you Craig Foreman @qhamirani , @dravinishreddy and Dr Zara Butte! It was great sharing the stage with you! 🙏🏾
Thank you @nicholbradford and @helloajthomas for the opportunity to be in the room! 🙏🏾
What does it mean to own your mind in the age of AI?
That’s the question CSTF Stanford HAI is bringing tonight.
The Cognitive Frontier: Who Owns Your Mind? gathers builders, researchers, and operators for an evening of conversation and live demos at Frontier Tower in San Francisco.
Today, Friday, May 15 · 5:00–8:00PM
Frontier Tower @ Spaceship 995 Market Street, San Francisco
If you’re thinking about cognitive liberty, mental sovereignty, or where human thought ends and machine influence begins, this is the room to be in.
Hosted by Peggy Yin, Shayling Zhao and Julie Heng
Limited spots remaining. RSVP to secure your seat: luma.com/cstf-htw
Evolution has been solving the problem of cooperation for billions of years including in contexts like multicellularity, multispecies biofilms, and human societies in the ways we cooperate with each other. The question I keep coming back to is how we use that science to build a better future. And how we can take this knowledge and apply it to building a future with technology that is positive for everyone.
Thank you to Nichol Bradford and everyone at Human Tech Week for an incredible event. I was lucky enough to meet so many awesome people and look forward to continuing thes conversation with you all soon!

Day 4. The final day of Human+Tech Week 2026 main programming.
The REACH working convening brought the week to a close with one of the most expansive conversations we've had: what actually shapes the cities we live in? The answers stretched further than infrastructure. We talked about hospitality, art, governance, neighborhoods, and the invisible systems that determine whether people can truly thrive where they live. The future of cities isn't just about buildings and policy. It's about belonging.
And with that, our main programming comes to a close.
To every contributor who walked through these doors this week — across AGENCY, HOPE, and REACH — thank you. You didn't just attend. You showed up, you engaged, you pushed ideas further than they were before you arrived. That's what this week is for.
To our partners who hosted and co-created: this week exists because of you. To our speakers who brought real thinking, real questions, and real conviction: you set the tone. To every participant who made time to be here: you are the reason the room worked.
There is still a full day of partner events tomorrow. Come back, keep going, keep connecting.
We'll see you next year.
In the meantime, carry this with you: human flourishing isn't a destination. It's a practice. Something we build toward, day by day, together.
Until next time. 🌍

We are cultivating a BIG energy tonight at @alchemysprings for @humantechweek
If you’re feeling depleted, burned out or disconnected.
Come join us and fill your cup up.
I guarantee you walk away feeling FULL.
If you don’t walk away feeling full, then attend one of my next offerings at Alchemy Springs on me.

See you tonight.
You walked in curious. You left with something you didn't expect.
Real conversations between people who rarely get to be in the same room. Debates that didn't have easy answers. Art that made you stop. Moments that reminded you why this work matters.
Day 3 of Human+Tech Week wasn't just about the future of health — it was about what it feels like to be surrounded by people who are genuinely trying to build it.
Thank you for being part of it. Today is the last summit: REACH, see you there. 🌱

Day 3 of Human+Tech Week asked one of the most fundamental questions we can hold: what does it mean to live well — and for how long?
The HOPE Summit on the Future of Healthspan brought together researchers, clinicians, technologists, and builders to explore the full arc of human health — from reversing chronic disease and rethinking aging, to the role of stress, sleep, relationships, and purpose in a life well-lived.
What became clear: we are at a convergence point. The tools of AI and the wisdom of medicine are meeting in ways that could rewrite what aging looks like for millions of people.
The intelligence in this room isn‘t just impressive. It’s the kind of force that turns possibility into reality.
To every contributor who brought their knowledge and heart to today‘s conversations — thank you.
Tomorrow, we close HTW2026 with the REACH Summit, turning our gaze to the cities and systems that shape how we live together.
See you for the final day. 🌱

Day 2 of Human+Tech Week in two minutes.
The AGENCY Summit asked one question all day: what does work actually look like when humans and AI figure out how to work together?
The rooms gave honest answers.
Thank you to everyone who showed up, stayed in the hard conversations, and made this worth having. And to the builders who opened the week with us on Monday — the foundation carried.
Today: the HOPE Summit.

Van Jones has a way of naming the moment we are in with both urgency and care.
In today's conversation, one theme kept surfacing: AI is creating extraordinary abundance — but without inclusion, it can still feel like scarcity. The risk is not only economic displacement, but mass humiliation when people lose access to dignity, purpose, and a path forward.
That is why Human+Tech Week is convening builders, public leaders, community organizers, researchers, and people closest to the problems we are trying to solve. The future is not just about faster models. It is about wiser systems — and technology that helps people feel seen, supported, and empowered to participate.
Two days left. HOPE (May 13) and REACH (May 14) are still ahead — health and cities, the rooms where it gets real.

Day 2 of Human+Tech Week is a wrap.
The AGENCY Summit spent the day on one question: how does AI actually change the way we work? Across sessions, two things kept coming up.
The first: there is no universal playbook. Speaker after speaker made the case that AI adoption is deeply personal. The people getting the most out of it are not following a company-wide rollout. They are finding their own way in, building their own workflow, and getting sharper at it over time. The future of work may look less like a standard operating procedure and more like a personal practice.
The second was harder to sit with. Chief People Officers from some of the largest organizations in the world shared what they are now looking for in talent. And the honest observation in the room was this: most people, especially inside large institutions, are not curious about change. They are waiting for it to pass. That gap between what organizations need and what most of their people are willing to do is one of the more serious problems no one is talking about loudly enough.
Both of those things are worth carrying into tomorrow.
Post your favorite, tag @humantechweek — and tell us the ▎ one moment from today you don‘t want to forget.
Today we asked how we work. Tomorrow we ask how we live. AGENCY gave us the tools — HOPE asks what they’re for. Rest well. We‘ll see you in the morning for the Future of Healthspan.
See you in the morning.
