ABOUT THE THEME "Digital Advent
We stand on the threshold of an era of perhaps the most rapid change in human history, with artificial intelligence the keystone in the development of smart cities, smart health, quantum computing, virtual reality, the metaverse, and more.
WEP 2024 will explore this AI-infused future across four interrelated zones: health and wellness; environment; energy; and economics of the future. How are the ambitions of AI-empowered smart health, smart treatment, diagnosis, prognosis, and drug development being realized? What support can AI provide in tackling environmental challenges? How will the economics of the future manifest themselves, and what are their likely impacts? Will our energy demands be eased by the application of AI? And alongside all of this, how do we ensure AI is the stuff of dreams, not nightmares?
