Session 2
The Implications — Governance and Leadership
Artificial intelligence may still be a nascent technology relative to its long-term potential, but we are already seeing the smoke signals and fault lines forming around a growing set of profoundly impactful—and potentially problematic—applications in society. We have also learned as a society over the last decade of the need for leadership from those outside the techno-scientific community. This session will examine the multi-faceted challenge of governing ‘the new electricity,’ with an emphasis on Europe’s role in providing guideposts for a world that appears ever more fractious.
