  1. Jean-Noël Barrot, Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs of France
2:05 PM Opening Keynote
  1. To Be Announced
Session One: AI in the Public Interest: Competition & Investment
The private-sector AI investment boom has raised questions about whether these new technologies and services will be widely accessible to all segments of society, rather than to just a few first-movers or dominant firms. What needs to happen to ensure that the fruits of the investment boom ultimately serve the public interest and the common good?

Session Two: Innovation & The Future of Work
While AI is billed as a technology that will supercharge productivity - allowing industries to do more with less, and at an accelerating pace - precisely how these benefits are pursued is what matters. What do policymakers and managers need to do to ensure that new tools serve not only capital but also labor, consumers, and society more broadly?

Session Three: Sustainable AI
Although AI holds the potential to transform a wide range of climate-related industries for the better, it is also a notoriously heavy user of electricity - and its energy footprint will only grow. How can we ensure that the technology becomes an overwhelmingly net positive for the planet?
