Hugh Carlson will speak on the “AI & Law” panel at the Imagination in Action AI Summit 2026 at the MIT Media Lab on April 10.
The panel—part of the summit’s Governing Intelligence track—will explore the legal frontier of AI, from IP and liability to international arbitration and the regulatory frameworks being written in real time. Hugh will be joined by Robert Mahari, Ra’ad Siraj, Adam Starr, and Harut Minasian.
The summit convenes leaders from across enterprise, policy, and research. This year’s keynotes and firesides include Marc Benioff (Salesforce), Rohit Prasad (Amazon’s SVP & Head Scientist of AGI), Yossi Matias (VP & Head of Google Research), Max Tegmark (MIT), Erik Brynjolfsson (Stanford), and Governor Maura Healey of Massachusetts.
