The National Academy of Public Administration will convene a live, virtual panel discussion examining how governance at local, state, and national levels can preserve and expand human agency amid rapid technological transformation. The panel will explore the human agency paradox: how expanding technological options can paradoxically reduce real choice without thoughtful governance. Panelists will address concrete actions that leaders can take to ensure AI and emerging technologies amplify human capability rather than constrain freedom, focusing on building human-AI collaborative systems, creating robust choice architectures, and developing domain-specific governance approaches that balance innovation with protection of individual liberties.
