WELCOME

In the last five years, A.I. has boomed in terms of technical breakthroughs and commercial uptake. Some argue we’re entering artificial intelligence’s industrial age. Could foundation models become as fundamental as electricity? What kind of predictions can we make today about where A.I. will take us 10 and 20 years from now? In this scene-setting conversation, Dr. Fei-Fei Li and Fortune’s senior writer Jeremy Kahn will dissect and analyze the power and the responsibility businesses and the larger community have in shaping the world we would like to live in tomorrow.

WHY GREATNESS CANNOT BE PLANNED

Satellite and drone imagery, battle plan analysis, self-driving combat vehicles – data is crucial to defense. Governments understand the value and are working with A.I. innovators to unlock its full potential. What can be done to improve the way the data is processed so that critical information can be accessed and analyzed? How is A.I. helping Ukraine’s counter-offensive? And in the race to develop cutting edge military technology, where does the United States stand in the supercomputing competition with China?

HOW A.I. IS SPREADING THROUGHOUT THE SUPPLY CHAIN

Retooling a workforce facing a mind-spinning rate of technological change is one of the most relevant questions of our times. Research shows that companies that are investing heavily in digital technologies to harness the power of human–machine collaboration are dramatically improving their bottom lines. Nevertheless, robots have been slower to join the workforce than expected. Outside of heavy manufacturing work, firms remain keen to hire people. As A.I. advances, what are humans for? And will robots solve labor shortages? How do we use AI to design not only more productive, but also diverse and inclusive, workplaces?

A.I.’S ROLE IN SHAPING THE METAVERSE

No topic in the world of technology is attracting more attention and hype right now. Generative AI refers to a category of machine learning that can produce novel content, rather than simply analyzing or acting on existing data. The audience will experience a demo and hear from the founder of the start-up behind the popular Stable Diffusion image-generating algorithm. Emad Mostaque, a former hedge-fund manager turned tech CEO, will talk about putting this technology into the hands of billions of people and delve into his bet that open-source and free to use code will lead to an explosion of opportunities and create astonishing economic value.
