| Now or Never for AI Policy? If the rise of the internet taught us anything three decades ago, it is that policy decisions made in the early days of a new technology’s development and commercialization can have far-reaching consequences that will long outlast any individual political career. With AI now advancing rapidly and being deployed across many sectors of the economy, policymakers - from global supranational bodies on down - have an urgent and weighty challenge in front of them. | |

Many people here at the bank agree that this was the most professional looking, well moderated, and entertaining event we have supported or participated in... The speakers were top-level and highly knowledgable throughout, and the whole design was very slick.
