Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping economies, industries, and society, challenging us to rethink how we work, live, and innovate. Optimists envision AI as a transformative force for economic growth and human progress—potentially contributing up to $19.9 trillion to the global economy by 2030. At the same time, skeptics warn of AI’s risks, including workforce disruptions, ethical dilemmas, and unpredictable social impact. Leaders from technology, academia, and policy will explore how we must responsibly develop AI and guide its economic impact.
