This session explores how artificial intelligence can be harnessed to make a real difference in people’s lives. We will focus on two key areas: expanding AI access for underserved communities—such as seniors and the global south—and using AI as a tool to boost productivity and strengthen uniquely human skills. Through practical examples, we will look at how AI can bridge gaps, empower individuals, and enhance day-to-day effectiveness. The discussion will also remain flexible to highlight specific areas of interest from the community.
