Decoding AI at the 18th Annual Global Ethics Summit

In this episode, Emily Rickaby, Vice President, Content at Ethisphere, gives us a sneak peek at the agenda for the 18th Annual Global Ethics Summit and how it showcases the evolving role of AI in ethics and compliance. For the last two years, AI has shown up in nearly every conversation in ethics and compliance. E&C teams have written the governance frameworks, vetted the tools, and answered the Board’s questions. Some have gone on to put AI to work inside their own programs. Many haven’t started. And more than a few practitioners would be happy to go a whole week without hearing the acronym at all. That’s the backdrop for the 2027 Global Ethics Summit, Ethisphere’s 18th annual gathering of ethics and compliance leaders, taking place March 30–April 1 in Atlanta and online. This year’s theme is “Human-Centered, AI-Assisted.” It’s a framing that keeps people at the center of the work, with the technology in a supporting role. Every year, the Summit brings together hundreds of senior E&C leaders in person and thousands more online, with more than 100 speakers and sessions built around what attendees can put into practice the moment they get back to the office. And while AI will be part of the conversation, plenty on this year’s agenda has nothing to do with it. So whether your program is already running AI in production, still deciding where to start, or tired of the subject altogether, there’s a lot to talk about.
