Begin with people and relationships
The initiative’s first salon took place in San Francisco in 2024, hosted by Harvard’s Human Flourishing Program and Preston-Werner Ventures. It created a forum for people from different disciplines to consider AI’s relationship with social connection and human flourishing.
A contribution to the research conversation
Jen is listed as a contributing advisor to the HumanConnections.AI research effort. The project’s white paper, Social AI and Human Connections: Benefits, Risks and Social Impact, brings together research, interviews, salon discussion, and webinars to examine choices in the design and use of AI.
Continue the work with youth and policy
The October 2025 Cambridge workshop focused on AI policy and youth well-being. Co-organized with the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence, it brought technology, policy, research, philanthropy, and civil society into the same conversation. Jen participated as a senior advisor to Noēsis and HumanConnections.AI.
