Goalkeepers NYC 2026: Make This Matter: AI, Inequality, and the Choice We Can’t Delay

Goalkeepers New York brings together storytelling, music, and dialogue to explore one of the most consequential questions of our time: will artificial intelligence deepen inequity, or expand human potential?

This year’s program, Make This Matter: AI, Equity, and the Choice We Can’t Delay, is produced in partnership with The Moth, blending intimate firsthand storytelling with live musical scoring.

The program features a range of voices sharing personal accounts of how AI is shaping their world, including actress and comedian Yvonne Orji, Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia; violinist and composer Charles Yang; trumpeter and musician Arnetta Johnson; Michelle Odemwingie, CEO of the Achievement Network and a former math teacher turned education leader; Dipali Kalbhor, a beekeeper and farmer; and Dr. Thaina Ndizeye, advisor to Rwanda’s Minister of Health.

Livestream coming soon.
