SUMMARY:Responsible AI: Balancing Innovation and Accountability
DESCRIPTION:As AI-powered products and services become more prevalent\, startups face critical decisions about how to build and deploy AI responsibly. While the AI landscape at times may feel like the “wild west\,” we will ask whether a responsible approach can be a differentiator or an inhibitor. This panel brings together startup founders\, a researcher specializing in responsible AI\, and an investor to explore the ethical\, regulatory\, and practical challenges of AI development.\n\nPanelists will discuss strategies for balancing innovation with fairness\, transparency\, and accountability—while also considering investor expectations\, customer trust\, and evolving compliance landscapes. Attendees will gain actionable insights on integrating responsible AI principles into their business models and tech stack from day one.\n\nSpeakers: \n\nBurak Sezen\, Partner at 6ixth Event Capital\nDr. Mahsan Nourani\, Research Assistant Professor\, Khoury College of Computer Science and the Roux Institute\, Northeastern University\nSonia Cook-Broen\, Founder\, TheTechMargin\nThomas Law\, Founder and CEO of Oak AI\nModerator: Gabriel Harp\, Head of Business Partnerships\, Oak AI
