Yesterday we wrapped up the **Thought Summit on LLMs and Society** at Cornell — an energizing and deeply reflective gathering of researchers, practitioners, and policymakers from several institutions and geographies. Over three days, we explored what it means to design and govern pluralistic and humanistic AI technologies that serve diverse communities, respect cultural contexts, and center social well-being. Our conversations spanned: 🔷 Identifying meaningful AI use cases, particularly in high-stakes settings 🔷 Foregrounding interdisciplinary methods from computing, social sciences, law, and design 🔷 Building strategic partnerships across academia, industry, civil society, and government 🔷 Addressing challenges of governance, safety, and inclusion in global environments 🔷 Recognizing the power of local knowledge, lived experience, and participatory design 🔷 Developing a shared vision for responsible AI infrastructures rooted in equity and accountability. This summit was part of the Global AI Initiative at Cornell — a commitment to shaping AI technologies that are globally relevant and socially responsive. Deep thanks to our participants, co-organizers, funders, student volunteers, and partners who made this summit possible! @CornellDataSciC @CornellCCSS @GlobalCornell @Cornell
