Alignment for a Major Evolutionary Transition: The Future of Humanity & AI - Global Salon Series - Shack15 at the Ferry Building, San Fransisco, CA

The San Francisco Salon gathered leading thinkers to explore a central question of our era: How do we align humanity, technology, and the planet as we enter a major evolutionary transition?
‍
This salon convenes leading voices in evolutionary science, the future of tech, and human potential to explore how humanity and AI might co-evolve toward unprecedented global cooperation. Together, we’ll examine the frontiers of human and machine intelligence, the pathways toward alignment at both biological and societal levels, and the role of leadership, ethics, and cooperation in shaping our collective future.

Hosted by Human Energy, the evening wove together evolutionary science, cooperation theory, cognition, and AI through perspectives from Terry Deacon (UC Berkeley), Athena Aktipis (Cooperative Futures Institute), Peter Fenton (Benchmark Capital), and Nichol Bradford (Human + Tech Week).
‍
Through conversation and community, this salon will surface insights into how humanity can navigate unprecedented technological change while deepening connection, resilience, and purpose.

Held at SHACK15 at the Ferry Building on November 11th, 2025. This salon is part of the Human Energy Global Salon Series. An intimate and by invitation only experience.
