The Macro Impacts of AI

Artificial Intelligence isn't just changing industries, it's reshaping the global order. As AI rapidly advances, its macro-level impacts on economic systems, labor markets, political power dynamics, military strategies, and societal norms are profound and far-reaching. Economically, AI drives unprecedented productivity but risks widening global inequalities. In labor, AI promises efficiency while potentially displacing millions of jobs, necessitating new social contracts. Politically, nations leveraging AI may redefine global influence and governance structures, altering geopolitical balance. Militarily, AI capabilities are transforming defense strategies, raising critical ethical and security considerations. Societally, AI forces us to reconsider privacy, human agency, and the nature of trust. This session explores how these interconnected trends are ushering in a new global paradigm, equipping leaders to understand, anticipate, and navigate the complex realities of an AI-driven world order.

AI and the Future of Work

AI isn’t replacing people, it’s changing what people do, how they do it, and why their contributions matter. As automation, agents, and intelligent systems rapidly reshape workflows, HR becomes one of the most strategic functions in any organization. In this session, Ryan Frederick, AI advisor, investor, and national speaker with 50+ appearances in 2025, shares insights from advising companies across industries and investing in category-defining AI startups. Ryan reveals what’s actually happening on the front lines of AI deployment, the new models of work emerging from automation, and how HR leaders can redesign talent, skills, culture, and organizational models to unlock the human advantage. The future belongs to organizations that get the blend right, leveraging AI for efficiency and scale while elevating people for creativity, judgment, customer empathy, and meaning. HR sits at the center of that re-architecture.

Navigating Work and Life with AI and Robots

Rapid advancements in automation, including AI, robotics, and digital systems, are reshaping economies, labor markets, politics, and military strategies. This talk explores the effects of automation on employment, economic growth, inequality, geopolitical dynamics, and ethical issues. It also addresses critical cyber and risk management practices essential for navigating an increasingly interconnected world, equipping participants to anticipate and respond to these global transformations effectively.
