AI is reshaping work, and the big questions are ethics and safety.
Join Hilary Cinis (Salesforce) and Joël Kalmanowicz (Canva) for an intimate evening of short talks and conversation on how we build AI that stays safe, responsible, and human.
Hilary and Joël will each share insights from their work leading ethics, safety, and policy design inside two of Australia’s most innovative tech companies, before opening the floor for a moderated Q&A and group discussion.
Some of what we will explore
This session is part of the continuing conversation sparked by The Signal Summit — exploring how we adapt, lead, and stay human as AI becomes part of everyday work.
Limited seats available for an open, real conversation with Hilary and Joël.
Joël's passion is making the world a better place with trust & safety in technology. He leads this effort at Canva, working to achieve impact safely with a platform approach. Previously he led Cloud Developer Platform at Atlassian, Product & Privacy at Sonder.io, and multiple products at Google over six years across consumer, enterprise, social, hardware, AI/ML, voice, geo/maps, hardware, and mobile.
Joël also co-founded a social impact startup, mentored dozens of startups and nonprofits, and volunteered to help government groups innovate across education, safety, and security. He enjoys more hobbies than you'd expect, though now spends most of his time as a dedicated dad.
