Exploring how AI is ushering in a new era of abundance by making intelligence increasingly accessible, reshaping industries, the future of work, and human creativity. Zack Kass examines the opportunities and risks of this transformation, and how leaders can harness AI to expand human potential rather than simply replace human capabilities.

As global demand for computing power accelerates, access to reliable and competitively priced energy is becoming a strategic economic advantage—one that could determine where future industries, investments and centres of innovation are established. In this fireside chat, Mohammad Abunayyan will explore how the convergence of energy, capital and technology is redrawing the global economic map, and how Saudi Arabia can translate its ability to deliver infrastructure at scale into a lasting position within the global AI economy.
 

This fireside conversation explores resilience through the perspective of one of the world’s largest energy companies and, specifically, through the lens of its CFO.
The discussion will look at what enables Aramco to remain financially and operationally strong across different market cycles, how it balances investment and financial discipline, and where it sees the next sources of long-term value creation.

The conversation will then bring that growth closer to the Forum audience by exploring what Aramco’s future direction could mean for businesses, investors and partners.
Rather than focusing on short-term market movements, the session is designed around long-term resilience, capital discipline, growth and execution.
 

Advances in ageing biology, multi-omics, artificial intelligence and preventive medicine are creating the possibility of a different model, one that identifies declining resilience earlier, targets shared drivers of age-related disease and preserves health across the course of life. But significant questions remain. Can healthspan be measured with sufficient scientific and clinical confidence? Which discoveries are ready to move beyond the laboratory? And can healthcare systems, regulators and investors build a credible pathway from promising science to interventions that improve meaningful human outcomes? This discussion will examine whether healthcare is ready to move from managing disease to protecting health—and what must change for that ambition to become a new standard of care.
 

Bringing together investment and logistics perspectives, this discussion will examine how economies and businesses can convert infrastructure into productivity, resilience and growth—and what separates assets that enable trade from those that merely add capacity. 

The world is entering a period of profound change, driven by shifts in economic power, technological advancement, and long-term structural trends. In this conversation, Ray Dalio shares his perspective on the forces reshaping the global landscape and what leaders must do to remain resilient, adaptable, and successful in the decades ahead.

This session is designed to explore how Ray Dalio interprets the major forces reshaping the world through the lens of historical cycles, long-term patterns, and structural change. The discussion focuses on the underlying drivers of transformation, the early warning signs that precede periods of decline or renewal, and the assumptions that may no longer hold true in the decades ahead. It also examines how leaders and investors can identify opportunities during periods of uncertainty, what distinguishes resilient organizations from declining ones, and the principles that help decision-makers navigate complex environments. The objective is to uncover the mental models and frameworks Dalio uses to understand change, create long-term value, and make decisions in times of disruption.
