Carnegie Ethics Fellows Symposium 2026
Over two years, our Carnegie Ethics Fellows have been meeting with professionals across the international affairs field to learn about ethical decision-making, develop their capabilities, and become examples of values-driven responsible leadership. The Fellows have also been working on group projects around emerging ethical issues: water ethics, AI in healthcare, ethics of economic and national security, and the ethics of AI in humanitarian response. For their culminating experience, the Fellows hosted the Carnegie Ethics Fellows Symposium on October 15, 2026, a day-long conference to discuss their projects, alongside experts working on these topics.

How does ethics shape the way we understand and respond to the defining challenges of our time?

Cooperation Against All Odds: Transnational Networks and the Future of Global Order
How do we explain breakthroughs in international cooperation that seem to defy the odds, especially during periods of great power competition and geopolitical tension? The answer centers on social power: the capacity of transnational networks—groups of individuals who transcend national boundaries at the societal or elite levels—to champion transformational ideas that reshape global norms and move governments, without coercion or payment. This event showcases insights from "Transnational Political Networks and the Future of Global Order," a multi-year research initiative funded by the Andrew Carnegie Foundation and led by Northeastern University's Professor Mai'a K. Davis Cross. The project's core finding is that networks oriented toward the common good, operating at a global or regional scale, and pursuing transformational rather than transactional goals are consistently more likely to achieve cooperative breakthroughs. The convening brought together five key contributors to the project for a focused panel conversation running counter to geopolitical pessimism, with topics ranging from AI to human rights to Russia's war against Ukraine to environmental protection. This event was generously supported by the Andrew Carnegie Foundation.

State Sovereignty in the Age of AI
AI is having a seismic impact on how states interact with each other. As the frontier AI labs of the U.S. and China drive innovation forward, dominate compute capabilities, and seek to control critical supply chains, smaller states are facing new challenges to their own sovereignty. What geopolitical pathways exist for states to access the benefits of AI, while still maintaining their independence? Arun Sundararajan, professor at New York University's Stern School of Business, joins the "Values & Interests" podcast for the first interview in a new series of conversations exploring the issue of AI sovereignty. Together with host Kevin Maloney, Professor Sundararajan analyzes the emerging moral, technological, and geopolitical questions facing states in the age of AI.

Multilateralism By and For the People
People are rapidly losing faith in multilateral institutions. Heela Rasool-Ayub, co-director of the Power, People, and Planet Initiative at New America, joined "Values & Interests" to discuss potential pathways toward a more inclusive and responsive international system. Drawing upon her family's journey from Afghanistan to the United States and her career across the Foreign Service—at both USAID and as Director for Global Engagement at the National Security Council—Heela discusses how her values system has informed her commitment to the principle of cooperation and her ongoing work to create a more human-centric multilateral future.

Cooperation as a Source of Power
Can cooperation remain a source of influence in an era of growing competition? Velislava Petrova-Chamova, Bulgaria's Minister of Foreign Affairs, joined "Values & Interests" during the week of the UN General Assembly to explore the nature of power in international affairs and the importance of pragmatism when working through geopolitical issues. Petrova-Chamova details how her time as a scientist during the COVID-19 pandemic affects how she approaches her work today. From delivering tangible results for citizens to balancing principles with political realities, the conversation examines how ethical considerations inform foreign policy decisions.

Listening to Conflict: Human Experience of War
As new technologies transform the way wars are fought, the ethical and humanitarian stakes of armed conflict continue to evolve. With the rise of cyber and hybrid warfare, as well as the development of lethal autonomous weapons systems, what has been lost in ethical thinking about war as it moves further away from human experience? How can we revisit and adapt our moral frameworks to restore the voices of soldiers, veterans, and civilian victims of warfare? This "Ethics Empowered: Leadership in Practice" discussion was moderated by Adam Read-Brown, Carnegie Council's executive editor and director of journal programming.
