Among other topics, this day will focus on AI opportunities and pitfalls, the importance of greater ethical AI standards, and what the best (and worst) case scenarios could look like a decade from now.

• Wednesday, January 17 | Blockchain in Action – Blockchain’s utility for and by businesses is on the rise, from financial instruments and supply chain efficiency to supporting AI applications and driving the gaming revolution – and much more. The Hub will gather some of the best and the brightest from the blockchain space to look at the current state of play and what to expect over the coming months and years.

• Thursday, January 18 | Sustainability & The Future of Finance – How businesses and governments are envisioning, adopting, and regulating emerging technologies to realize energy transformation and more efficient and transparent capital markets.
