Strengthen and invigorate your organization’s approach to ethical leadership with an interactive deep dive into lessons from game-based learning, ethical skill-building (beyond compliance), and AI. In this session, the team behind the award-winning game Quandary will demonstrate how research-backed game mechanics and AI chatbot learning tools can build durable “ethical muscle memory.” With a particular focus on the game’s recent innovations in AI ethics, Shelly London (former senior corporate executive, long-time NYU Stern adjunct professor, and Quandary founder) and Scot Osterweil (MIT Education Arcade, Learning Games Network) will lead a conversation on equipping employees with the skills to navigate high-stakes challenges that have no one “right” answer. Attendees will leave with a thoroughly research-backed framework for using serious play to drive employee engagement, mitigate risk, and foster ethical decision-making skills up and down the corporate ladder. Additionally, participants will gain exclusive early access to explore Quandary’s new ethics learning tools.
