Sentient Futures Summit (SFS) Bay Area 2027 is a three-day conference taking place on March 12-14, 2027 @ Mox, San Francisco, exploring the impact of AI and other emerging technologies on sentient non-humans, both biological and potentially artificial. This is the 7th conference of our series, which has served as a premier meeting place for those working to ensure that non-human sentient beings are not left behind in the long-term future.
