The Future of AI

The best definitions of AI are vague, largely lack consensus and represent a huge challenge for lawmakers and legal scholars looking to regulate it. But back to back breakthroughs and rapid adoption of generative AI tools are making it feel a lot more real to everybody else.

We Meet:

MIT Technology Review Senior AI Reporter Melissa Heikkilä

Mozilla President Mark Surman

IBM Chief Privacy Officer Christina Montgomery

United Nations AI Advisor Neil Sahota
