Breaking the Deadlock: AI: Who’s In Control — Open

Can AI improve lives without sacrificing security, jobs, or human values? In BREAKING THE DEADLOCK: AI: Who's in Control?, moderator Aaron Tang guides a lively discussion on the opportunities and risks of artificial intelligence. As perspectives clash over innovation, regulation, and corporate influence, one question rises above the rest: who will shape AI's future, and for whose benefit?
