Digital Fiduciaries: Ethics for Algorithmic Contractors

We invite you to join the Rutgers Institute of Ethical Leadership for its 2026 Virtual Summit: "Digital Fiduciaries: Ethics for Algorithmic Contractors" on Thursday, June 18, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM EDT via Zoom. This timely two-hour conversation brings together leading voices from academia and industry to examine the accountability gap that emerges when governments delegate core public functions to proprietary algorithms. Our distinguished panelists — Derek Leben (Carnegie Mellon University), Tobey Scharding (Rutgers Business School), and Noga Rosenthal (General Counsel & Chief Privacy Officer, Ampersand) — will offer both scholarly and practitioner perspectives on the evolving landscape of AI governance and ethics. 

Whether you are a researcher, educator, graduate student, or industry professional navigating the intersection of technology, law, and ethics, this summit offers valuable insights into one of the most pressing governance challenges of our time. Register today!
