During the STI Forum, GZERO Media proposes a livestreamed panel discussion designed to reflect on the Forum’s key themes and spark forward-looking dialogue on the future of science, technology, and innovation in global governance.

This panel discussion, moderated by Tony Maciulis, Chief Content Officer, GZERO Media, will open with an introduction of Juan Lavista’s work on AI for Good Lab, along with the key themes of Jeffrey Ding’s book “Technology and the Rise of Great Powers: How Diffusion Shapes Economic Competition”, including how technological advancements shape global power dynamics and why technology diffusion matters more than innovation alone.
