Location: Room TBD
This workshop has two parts: January 22 – 1:00-4:00pm & January 29 – 10:30-12:00pm. Max. enrollment – 50 graduate students. (Registration is for both parts.)
The central question is no longer only “Do we trust AI?” but, more broadly: “How does AI engineering leadership shape whether others—human or machine—trust us, our work, our organizations, and our brands?”
This workshop explores how trust is created, led, and engineered in a world shaped by intelligent systems and saturated with mediated, deepfake, and hallucinated content. Students will engage in practical exercises and learn from research on trust and AI engineering. Led by David Niño and Brian Subirana, with a guest appearance by MIT alumnus Carlos Torres Vila BS ‘88, SM ‘90, Chairman of BBVA, a $800B global financial group pioneering a large-scale AI transformation.
Leaders:
David Niño is a Senior Lecturer for the Riccio Graduate Engineering Leadership Program (GradEL). He has served in this role since 2015, where he leads the development of leadership education for MIT graduate students in engineering and other disciplines. Under his leadership, the program has grown from one graduate class serving less than 20 students and to a variety of highly-rated academic classes and workshops that serve over 200 graduate students annually. In addition to teaching MIT academic classes, he has created several MIT online programs for professionals around the world, reaching over 1,000 learners annually in four different languages. Prior to joining MIT, David was a faculty member in the schools of engineering and business at Rice University in Houston, Texas. He was Director of Rice’s university-wide leadership program and later played a leading role in designing and establishing the university’s first four-year academic certificate in engineering leadership.
Brian Subirana is Full Professor of Artificial Intelligence at EADA Business School and holds a PhD in Artificial Intelligence from CSAIL at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) as well as an MBA from the MIT Sloan School of Management. For over 20 years he has been on the faculty at MIT Sloan, the MIT School of Engineering and Harvard University. At MIT he was also the Director of the MIT Auto-ID lab and the founding Director of the MIT and Accenture Convergence Initiative for Industry and Technology as well as PI (Principal Investigator) in many research projects. His research centers on the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Prior to being an academic he was with BCG (Boston Consulting Group), and while being one he has founded three start ups.
This workshop counts toward the requirements for GradEL’s Graduate Certificate in Technical Leadership.
Registration is for both parts: January 22 – 1:00-4:00pm & January 29 – 10:30-12:00pm.
