11.00-11.45 (Circle 1) - What Future Are We Building With AI?

During this panel, we will explore the future of humanity in an AI-shaped world. If we project ourselves 5 to 10 years ahead, based on the decisions we are making right now, what kind of society are we building? What does “progress” look like when machines can generate, persuade, decide, and act at scale?

We will challenge ourselves with the hard questions: Is this the future we actually want to live in? What must remain uniquely human, and what are we willing to delegate to systems? What guardrails are needed to protect human agency, dignity, and sovereignty in an age of accelerating capability? And who is responsible for making those guardrails real: governments, companies, educators, citizens, or all of the above?

Finally, we will aim to define what “human-centric AI” truly means today, and what it must mean tomorrow, not as a slogan, but as a practical standard for how we design, deploy, and adopt AI in the real world.
