As AI continues to rapidly evolve, it increasingly influences every aspect of our lives, from the way we work and communicate to how we address global challenges. However, with this tremendous potential comes significant responsibility. The question of how we govern AI on a global scale—balancing innovation with ethical considerations, ensuring fairness, and protecting privacy—is one of the most critical issues of our time.

We are privileged to have with us a distinguished panel of experts who will share their insights on these challenges and explore the frameworks, policies, and international cooperation needed to navigate this complex landscape. We look forward to a thought-provoking discussion that will deepen our understanding of the role global governance must play in shaping the future of AI.
