Salons

Two series of conversation that give the questions raised in the Huddles room to develop. One gathers a small circle at a private home in Roland Park. The other opens the conversation at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg Center in Washington.

Technology, Autonomy, and Culture

Inspired by the Viennese salon tradition, these are intimate evenings hosted by Adler Archer at his home in Roland Park. Scholars, innovators, musicians, artists, and civic leaders share a table and a conversation about where technology, culture, and community meet.

We hope each evening brings music, food, and art into the room alongside the ideas, with local chefs and artists as part of the company.

The Beacon Series

Autonomy in the Age of AI

A more open series of conversations at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg Center on how artificial intelligence and autonomous technologies are reshaping healthcare, organizations, public policy, and society.

Researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and community leaders come together to explore the technical, ethical, and human dimensions of autonomy.

Both series sit where human-centered innovation meets the study of autonomous systems, and both ask what it takes for people to trust the technologies that increasingly act on their behalf.
