Human Attention Summit 27
Human attention is the world’s most valuable resource.
The Human Attention Summit convenes the leaders shaping how attention is earned, valued, and protected in the age of AI. As artificial intelligence scales content, automation, and intelligence itself, the Summit explores what becomes more scarce: trust, creativity, empathy, judgment, and real human connection.
