Session summary
Regions, being more adaptable than states, must lead the digital and AI revolution, addressing the urgent need to bridge the technological gap with countries like the USA and China.
Significant job losses in the public sector are anticipated, especially in low-skilled, repetitive jobs that cannot adapt to new technologies.
Ensuring the security of digital technology use is essential for citizen safety and regional development, making cybersecurity a strategic focus.
The rapid advancement of technology, particularly AI, will fundamentally change work and daily life, requiring human creativity and imagination to harness its potential
