Wilson Sonsini Co-Sponsors Third Annual Rome Conference on AI, Ethics, and Governance

Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, the premier provider of legal services to technology, life sciences, and growth enterprises worldwide, will co-sponsor the Annual Rome Conference on AI, Ethics, and Governance for the third consecutive year. Taking place on June 18-20, 2026, in Rome, the conference will convene leaders across technology, business, policy, academia, religious, and civil society to examine the far-reaching human, ethical, and institutional implications of artificial intelligence. This year’s program builds on prior years with a heightened emphasis on ethics and governance for AI’s increasingly transformative role in society.

“Wilson Sonsini is pleased to have helped establish, with Libra Legal Partners, the Rome AI Conference, and we look forward to participating alongside the outstanding speakers and attendees in this year’s event,” said David J. Berger, partner at Wilson Sonsini and co-chair of the Annual Rome Conference on AI, Ethics, and Governance. “We’re very proud to see that the Rome AI Conference has developed into one of the world’s premier events focused on AI, ethics, and governance, as it brings together a broad range of important AI voices and perspectives—from technologists and business leaders to ethicists and policymakers.”

Sessions will address the full spectrum of AI’s societal impact, including the role of capital allocation in responsible innovation, AI’s demands on energy infrastructure, transformative applications in healthcare, shifting labor markets, and the effect on younger generations and human connection. Speakers include some of the most consequential leaders shaping AI’s trajectory across technology, investment, government, and academia, as well as leaders from the Italian Government and the Roman Catholic Church.
