His Excellency Yasir Al Rumayyan, Chairman of the Future Investment Initiative and Governor of the Public Investment Fund, will discuss the role of investment in combating climate change, ensuring technology benefits all, and equitable access to resources.
Day one will feature an Energy Summit, investigating the extent to which the Paris Agreement goals can align with economic growth, technology’s part in eliminating greenhouse gases, and the pace of global decarbonization.
A line-up of technology experts at FII will examine AI’s potential benefits, the need for global regulatory measures for user data privacy, and AI’s potential in improving global nutrition.
