Geopolitics to Centre Stage

Longstanding security alliances and trade partnerships must adjust to a new era of conflict.

Sanna Marin, Prime Minister of Finland (2019-2023), looks at Europe’s position on the world stage and reflects on politically difficult decisions both past and future.

She also lays out her vision for how being a climate pioneer such as Finland offers a competitive strength in new green technology.

  

"Finland becoming climate neutral doesn’t save the world. We need all the big players. We need China.
We need US. We need all of Europe. We need every country on board"

Sanna Marin
Prime Minister of Finland (2019-2023)

 

       

      

Meanwhile, Dr Lynn Kuok and Professor Vali Nasr discussed the power realignments taking place on the geopolitical landscape with particular focus on Asia and the Middle-East.

   

"It used to be that the United States was pivoting away from the Middle East, now the Middle Eastern countries are pivoting away from the United States."

Vali Nasr
Professor of International Affairs and Middle East Studies at the Johns Hopkins University

Technology: Rewriting the Rule Book

The rapid acceleration of artificial intelligence is reshaping our societies. Professor Daron Acemoglu and Dr Aurelie Jean explored some of the key concerns:

How can we make AI fair, transparent, accessible and free from manipulation in order to empower all members of society?

 

"In tech especially, because of lack of regulation, and the culture of Silicon Valley, a general attitude of break things first and then perhaps we can fix them, has emerged. And that norm has to change."
Daron Acemoğlu
MIT Institute Professor

 "We need regulation on ideas because we need to make sure that we protect the fundamental rights."
Dr. Aurélie Jean
