Programme

The AI Future Conundrum – Slow Down and Worry or Speed Up and Worry. How to plan for an unknowable future? 

Join this very special invite-only global edition of The Capital Meets Policy Dialogue, where we dive head-first to find the best answers that global policymakers and investors can together find. And let’s say, for now. 

First, Let’s Frame the Dialogue

 

 


The dialogue’s Global Curator boldly lays out the current and foreseeable challenges and opportunities that AI policymakers and investors face, the pluses and minuses of possible decisions, what is controllable and what isn’t, and brings the audiences at par to fully immerse themselves into what promises to be an insights rich dialogue. 

The Policymaker's Keynote:

AI policymaking. Arguably now the toughest job in the world.


As artificial intelligence continues to evolve at breakneck pace and permeate more aspects of society and our daily lives, policymakers globally are faced with the extraordinary challenges of navigating its complex landscape. Industrial era policymaking frameworks are ill-equipped to address the intricate issues posed by AI. AI is likely a reset for policymaking per se. The stakes are just too high. 

So, how can policymakers make policies that address all the following at the same time: 

  • Ensure AI is trustable, fair and safe.  
  • Drive clear accountability.  
  • Foster innovation.  
  • Encourage R&D.  
  • Protect IP and rights of developers.  
  • Address fair and equitable access to critical resources. 
  • Ring-fence effects of worsening geo-politics. 
  • Make cross-border interoperability possible. 

This special keynote highlights the top 3 policymaking challenges at hand and suggests ways to solve for them. 

The Investor Keynote:

Will AI investing move beyond the hype, towards substance, at least in 2025? 

 

For two years now, venture capitalists have been at a critical cross-road – invest in new, rapidly evolving AI technologies and run the risk of backing something that doesn’t work out in the long term, or wait and see, and run the risk of missing some outsized investment returns.  

 

While most investment in 2023-24 has gone into the foundational layer, in 2025, which segment(s) – model makers (foundation layer), application layer, operation layer, computing layer – are likely to see more allocations, which segments expect to see a slowdown in allocations. And as AI infra costs hold back profits, what might change in the roadmap-to-value for each of the segment(s) to confidently generate a targeted ROI?

The Policymakers Panel:

Global AI governance: The much-needed lifeline for startups? 

 


As declining geopolitics affects technology policymaking globally, the risk for startups expanding beyond national borders is rising fast too. While national laws might be able to deal with simpler AI applications and LLMs, but frontier models may require global rules – and an international body to oversee them. The ICAO (Aviation), CERN (Nuclear), IAEA (Atomic Energy), are organisations from the past that embody ways to govern a powerful new technology. And these have mostly worked.

 

But getting a global agency to oversee AI anytime soon might be quite the tall order.  

 

So, what can national policymakers do to create a framework that allows for startups at home to not only attract foreign capital, but expand beyond their borders easily, at the same time contain risks from imported AI systems causing significant harm. 

The Investor Panel:

AI has a real problem: The missing revenues!

 


It is estimated about $1Tn will be spent on capex in the coming years, including significant investments in data centers, chips, other AI infra, and the power grid. ‘Overbuilding things the world doesn’t have use for, or is not ready for, typically ends badly.’ warned a Goldman Sachs report in Jun 2024.  

 

Sequoia’s David Cahn’s rule of thumb is that companies in aggregate will need to generate about 4x in revenue (about $600Bn) vs. what they spend ($150Bn) on Nvidia data centers. Currently, there isn’t sight of such scale revenue anywhere, whatsoever.
