VIRTUAL DEBATE: Can AI Companies Be Trusted to Self-Regulate?
​As artificial intelligence rapidly transforms economies, politics, and daily life, a central question has emerged: who should be responsible for ensuring its safe and ethical development?​Some argue that AI companies, driven by innovation and expertise, are best positioned to regulate themselves and adapt quickly to emerging risks. Others warn that leaving such powerful technologies in private hands without oversight invites abuse, bias, and unintended consequences at scale.​At stake is not just technological progress, but public trust, democratic accountability, and the broader social impact of AI systems.

American Pillars Reception: The Dissident Project x Naples Classical Academy

Young Voices' Dissident Project and Naples Classical Academy is hosting a private reception in Naples bringing together a select group of supporters, educators, and community leaders committed to advancing the pillars of a free society.

​This evening will offer a closer look at the work of the Dissident Project and its growing partnership with Naples Classical Academy, highlighting how firsthand voices of freedom are shaping the next generation of American students.

​The program will feature remarks from Iranian dissident Tahmineh Dehbozorgi, who will speak on the current situation in Iran and reflect on the enduring strength and global significance of American values. Leaders from Naples Classical Academy will also share brief remarks on the role of education in preserving these principles.

​This reception is designed to provide an opportunity for meaningful conversation, connection, and a deeper understanding of how this work can expand.

​Earlier that day, Tahmineh will speak directly with students at Naples Classical Academy as part of the Dissident Project’s nationwide effort to bring the lived experiences of authoritarianism into American classrooms. The evening reception offers an opportunity to engage more deeply with that mission.

​Drinks and light refreshments will be served.
