Topic Name & Synopsis

Plenary Session: A Tip of an Iceberg: What to Expect from the AI-driven Digital Future?

Artificial Intelligence enters our lives as an iceberg enters the ocean—we can see only the tip of it, but the real size of its impact on the planet is unknown.

However, we still cannot assess the darker side of a widespread adoption of AI. Cybercriminals actively turn it into their weapon, generative AI amplifies the problem of disinformation, and some experts predict the huge effects that AI may have on social and economic stability.

How to ensure a safe evolution of artificial intelligence and global resilience to emerging threats? Where is the balance of relying on AI and what can we do to maintain it?
