AI: The Architect of Politics
At the Threshold of a New World
Speakers
Humanity stands on the brink of a new era defined by intelligence. Artificial intelligence is evolving at a breakneck pace, transforming not only business and daily life but also politics- both personal and the world’s.
This session draws from Juna Antonio March’s book Momentum that confronts the pivotal challenge of our age- the allure of extraordinary progress, juxtaposed against a world teetering on the edge of chaos, held back by outdated political structures. Momentum charts the trajectory of this new world and the path to avoid fatal collapse.
This session will shed light on how AI is dramatically reshaping the world by revolutionising various sectors, the challenges it presents, how we interact with technology and navigate our environments, how AI is increasingly influencing politics by shaping public discourse, campaign strategies, and policy decisions, thus, becoming instrumental in affecting strategic decisions of politics and governance.
Juan Antonio March will be in conversation with Tanuj Bhojwani. The discussion will be followed by a Q&A session with the audience.
