Exclusive, Director+ program Step inside our recording studio for a one-time-only conversation at the edge of tech, ethics, and the future of work. Join us during Boston Tech Week by a16z for “Dignity by Design: A Live Conversation on Preserving the Soul of the Autonomous Enterprise,” featuring two leaders at the intersection of technology and humanity: Kasia Chmielinski, founder of The Data Nutrition Project, and Kathy Pham, Vice President of Open Technology and AI at Workday. As the “autonomous enterprise” moves from buzzword to business model, this conversation will tackle a pivotal question: How do we integrate agentic AI without erasing the people behind the work? Chmielinski is a distinguished technologist focused on algorithmic accountability, with experience across the U.S. Digital Service, the United Nations, and Google. Pham brings deep expertise in responsible AI and public-interest technology, drawing on leadership roles with the White House National AI Advisory Committee, the Federal Trade Commission, and Harvard University. In this unscripted conversation, they’ll explore: -How unified data and deterministic guardrails can preserve human dignity in an increasingly automated enterprise -What it actually looks like to scale efficiency without flattening the nuance and creativity of a hybrid human-and-agent workforce -The technical and cultural conditions required to keep humans meaningfully in control -Why data accuracy, representation, and documentation—the core of Chmielinski's work—are non-negotiable if we want AI that doesn’t quietly erode our dignity If you are a builder, enterprise leader, or strategist navigating the future of work, this session delivers practical insight into how to keep human agency at the core of enterprise automation. This event is a part of #BOSTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
