## Resource

AI systems are advancing faster than expected and the next few years could redefine what we mean by intelligence. Will progress continue through scale alone, or are new breakthroughs in algorithms, data and agentic interaction needed to reshape the path ahead? As models begin to learn, plan and act in digital and physical environments, what kind of intelligence are we creating and how will it shape humanity? Speakers: Nicholas Thompson, Chief Executive Officer, The Atlantic Eric Xing, President, Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) Yoshua Bengio, Full Professor, University of Montreal Yuval Noah Harari, Distinguished Research Fellow, Centre for the Study of Existential Risk Yejin Choi, Professor and Senior Fellow, Stanford University This is the full audio from a session at the Annual Meeting 2026 in Davos.
