Last year we saw GenAI upend the entire industry. And now, the explosion of AI’s capabilities has ushered a combination of groundbreaking innovations and daunting challenges. This year has seen the birth of a new breed of AI assistants, further bridging the gap between human and machine, evolving this complex relationship to a new dimension. And as AGI’s potential looms ever closer, so to does the question of whether its benefits outweigh the negatives.

AI advancements continue to propel industries into new realms of efficiency and effectiveness, offering solutions to some of the world’s most pressing issues. However, the rapid pace of progress necessitates a renewed focus on addressing safety and ethical concerns. This has united the global community of AI experts to try to reach a consensus on ensuring the safe, responsible, and successful harnessing of AI – and the World Summit AI remains at the forefront of this vital movement.

World Summit AI is the epicenter of AI innovation; where the boundaries of technology meet the forefront of business and societal transformation.  Mark your calendars for the 9th and 10th of October 2024, as we return to Amsterdam to create a future where technology and humanity merge to create a more inclusive, equitable world. As we move forward, the choices made today will fundamentally shape the legacy of AI for generations to come, making 2024 a critical year for reflection and decisive action in the world of AI.

    AI’s influence on the election process is profound, with the potential to wreak chaos in this global election year. Deepfakes and sophisticated bots are on the loose.

    Does the opportunity to enhance the electoral process trump the concerns around election security? This panel reveals what’s in store, how AI can enhance democracy – not undermine it; acting as a catalyst for a more engaged and resilient democratic society.

While 2023 was a year for many financial services organizations to identify and prioritize use cases, this year has been pivotal in bringing responsible AI-enabled capabilities and applications into production. This panel features major players from various financial services sectors (Esure, EuroClear, NN Group) who will share their experiences.

    Hayley Edmonds, Journalist / Moderator, CEO, Sport Host

    The rapid growth of AI is transforming the risk landscape for companies around the world, increasing the reach and impact of existing threats while introducing new ones. As industry continues to evaluate novel ways of managing AI risks, governments can play a key role in standardizing approaches to safety and security, harmonizing these standards with international partners, and providing oversight at critical stages of AI development and deployment. This fireside chat will discuss the ways in which US and EU governments have taken action in this space, promoting innovation alongside safety and security in order to harness the immense potential of AI.

      AI continues to develop at an unprecedented pace, even in light of established national AI safety legislation across the EU and the USA. And experts are no closer to agreeing on the capabilities of AI – as highlighted in the UK’s interim scientific report on the safety of Advanced AI. 

      This panel session will debate the wider risks of the evolution of general-purpose AI; discussing the growing interest in AI nationalism and its wider impact, and how to reach consensus to harness AI safely, responsibly and successfully.
