Down the Gradient Ep. 2 – Getting It Right: AI Safety, Trust, and Adoption

AI safety isn't just a technical challenge; it's a human one shaped by developmental science, civic infrastructure, and the people building at the frontier.

During New York Tech Week, Fenwick hosted Women Shaping the Future of AI, a cross-sector panel exploring how women are shaping the next phase of AI across platforms, capital, safety, and public infrastructure.

Fenwick’s Melanie Jolson and Adine Mitrani were joined by Dr. Allison Mishkin, child safety + wellbeing product policy lead at OpenAI; Dr. Gal Noyman-Veksler, partner at Lionbird Ventures; and Stacey Matlen, senior vice president of innovation at Partnership for New York City.

This episode is the first part of the conversation and explores building AI safety protocols for children, New York City’s framework for evaluating civic technology, safety and equity in health tech investing, and the role women are playing in AI adoption.
