Co-Design Forum

San Diego's First Responsible & Human-Centered AI Forum

WE ARE IN AI™ is bringing together businesses, city leaders, academia, creative professionals, and community members for a half-day co-creation experience defining what Responsible AI and Human-Centered Innovation looks like in practice for the region.

The Responsible AI Forum is a half-day event where three tracks: business, ecosystem, and community run simultaneously and converge in a closing plenary that will informed the first San Diego Responsible AI Pulse 2026 - Community Takeaways.

The goal of this forum is to foster a shared regional vision for AI through community collaboration. As an educational space the conversation and insights generated here are a starting point, a community reflection on what responsible and human-centered AI means for our region.
