From Davos to Rome: Reimagining Leadership for the Common Good Join Handshake at Davos for an exclusive preview of The Borgo Dialogues, launching in Rome in June 2026 to mark the 10th anniversary of Laudato Si’. This dynamic session explores the moral tensions shaping leadership today—spanning AI and human dignity, global migration, and the cultural power of sport—through the integrated lens of ecology, economy, and the common good. Together, we’ll set the stage for a global community committed to courageous, values-driven leadership.

V-LAB convenes global leaders across the future of health, the business of sport, the rise of AI, and the role of human values to explore the vital forces shaping the next era of human possibility. Grounded in the belief that everyone deserves the chance to thrive physically, mentally, and socially, V-LAB creates space for solutions-driven dialogue across four interconnected pillars: Vitality – The systems that sustain life Victory – The performance that pushes our limits Velocity – The technologies that expand capability Virtue – The values that anchor our shared humanity Together, these dialogues will drive new ideas, new alliances, and a deeper understanding of how vitality — as science, as culture, and as lived experience — can be advanced worldwide.

Artificial intelligence is everywhere at Davos 2026 — but is it overheated hype, or the early stages of a structural economic shift? In this conversation from the Hub Culture Pavilion, Professor David Shrier, Professor of Practice in AI & Innovation at Imperial College, joins Edie Lush to tackle the hardest questions leaders are quietly asking: Is AI a bubble? What’s really happening to jobs? And why most companies are still using AI the wrong way. Drawing on market data, labor economics, and real-world forecasting experiments, De Cremer argues that AI is not behaving like past tech cycles — and that the real disruption is already showing up in “phantom jobs” that never get created. This discussion explores: • Why AI market dislocation doesn’t equal a bubble • How 29 million “missing jobs” signal structural change, not over-hiring • The difference between replacement, augmentation, and truly additive AI • Why human–AI symbiosis delivers exponential returns • What “intelligence capital” means — and why it’s becoming a CEO-level asset • How leaders must redesign organizations, not just deploy tools • What individuals can do now to build AI literacy without fear The message is blunt: AI doesn’t just automate work — it rewrites how value is created. Companies that treat intelligence as a compounding asset will pull ahead. Those running pilots without rethinking structure will fall behind. This is not speculation. It’s a leadership reckoning. #Davos #Davos2026 #HubCulture #ArtificialIntelligence #AILeadership #FutureOfWork #JobsAndAI #Innovation #IntelligenceCapital #CEOStrategy #GlobalEconomy #TechTrends #AITransformation

Artificial intelligence is moving at lightning speed — but the energy systems powering it are not. From data centers to grid interconnections, the global race to scale AI is running head-first into a power bottleneck. In this conversation from Davos 2026, Edie Lush sits down with Neil Simmons, Professor of Practice in Mechanical Engineering at Duke University, to unpack the growing tension between AI innovation and energy infrastructure. Simmons explains why the real constraint on AI adoption isn’t algorithms or talent, but electrons on the grid — and why policy, permitting, and infrastructure timelines are struggling to keep pace with technological change. The discussion spans renewables, small modular reactors, legacy energy systems, and the strategic importance of power in an AI-driven economy. As Simmons puts it: the new currency of intelligence is power. A timely conversation on what must change — and how fast — if we want AI to scale responsibly and sustainably. #Davos #Davos2026 #ArtificialIntelligence #EnergyTransition #AIInfrastructure #CleanEnergy #ClimateInnovation #FutureOfAI #HubCulture

AI is moving fast. Human learning isn’t. At Davos, we sat down with Art Valentine, President of Assessment & Qualifications at Pearson, to unpack a truth most AI conversations skip: technology alone doesn’t create value—people do. Pearson’s latest research shows that up to $6.6 trillion in productivity could be unlocked in the U.S. by 2034 if companies stop chasing tools and start investing in human capability. Credentials, continuous learning, and real-time assessment are becoming the bridge between talent and opportunity in an AI-powered economy. As AI agents enter the workforce and jobs evolve faster than job titles, the winners won’t be those who fear automation—but those who learn how to work with it. This conversation goes beyond hype and straight into what actually matters: ✔ skills that last ✔ trust in outcomes ✔ confidence in humans alongside AI #Davos #Davos2026 #AI #FutureOfWork #WorkforceDevelopment #Skills #LifelongLearning #HumanPotential #AIandHumans #Leadership #Innovation #HubCulture

Why does a whale biologist come to Davos? Because the decision-makers shaping global trade, technology, and policy are all in one place—and the solutions already exist. At Davos 2026, Hub Culture’s Edie Lush speaks with Professor Douglas McCauley, marine biologist and Director of the Benioff Ocean Science Laboratory at UC Santa Barbara, about an invisible cost of globalization: the growing collision between global shipping and the world’s great whales. As 90% of global goods move by sea, ships have become the modern-day harpoon—posing one of the biggest threats to whale populations worldwide. McCauley explains how new data has revealed critical “hot spots” where shipping lanes and whale habitats overlap, and why fewer than 7% of these areas are currently protected. The conversation explores how AI-powered hydrophones, satellite forecasting, thermal imaging, and human observation are being combined into a real-time risk system—allowing ships to slow down only when and where whales are present. From policy action at the International Maritime Organization to the role of shipping companies, brands, and governments, this is a powerful example of how technology, regulation, and leadership can align to protect biodiversity at scale.

“What if the future could guide today’s decisions?” From collective storytelling to AI trained on positive futures, Lucian Tarnowski explores how narrative, technology, and intention might converge to drive systemic change.
