Humanity Empowered: Building Resilience with AI

The COVID-19 pandemic has catalyzed political discussions on key issues ranging from technological sovereignty and communication infrastructures to the faster digital transformation of public services, businesses, work, and education. But as countries work to transition out of this pandemic, a key questions is how prepared they are for the next crisis? Can the current political momentum, which was fueled by painful and costly lessons learnt, be sustained? Building resilience is more than reacting to crises quickly but should mean the ability to use crises to transform societies and to make these more crisis-resistant for the future.  

This conference will dive deeper into the question of how we can make our societies more resilient. How can resilience of complex socio-technical and socio-economic systems – also across borders – be supported? And what role can artificial intelligence play in this?
