Discussions will examine the governance gaps and power asymmetries that can arise as these technologies scale and how critical design choices made today may encode long-term advantage or exclusion. Bringing together perspectives from science, enterprise and policy, the conversation will also consider the intersection of technological innovation, responsible governance and workforce readiness, and what it will take to ensure AI systems support resilient institutions and a more equitable future.
