TED 2026

At the TED conference in 2026, entitled “All of Us”, AC moderated a Spotlight Conversation. The lively and interactive panel "How Can You Win with AI?" brought together Scott Likens, Global Chief AI Engineer & Principal at PwC, Gopi Kallayil, Chief Business Strategist AI at Google, and Kim Polese, Chairman of CrowdSmart and Common Good AI.

AI is no longer a novelty - but turning innovation into real-world impact remains the defining challenge for business leaders. Moving deliberately beyond hype, this fast-paced conversation explored how companies are integrating AI at scale, from pilot to production, and what it truly takes to harness AI responsibly for lasting returns. Structured around three acts - Mastering, Harnessing and Harvesting - the discussion covered everything from ROI and collective intelligence to ethics, regulation and the next wave of entrepreneurial disruption.
