Vienna, SEPTEMBER 2026
TEDAI in Vienna brought together leading voices from artificial intelligence, science, technology, philosophy and society to explore the questions shaping our relationship with AI and its future. AC Coppens hosted two Discovery sessions at the conference.
The first session, Building a Resilient AI Strategy in a Changing Model Landscape, featured Bivek Sharma and Danila Shtan. The conversation explored how organisations can navigate a rapidly evolving AI ecosystem, make strategic technology choices and build resilience as models, capabilities and market dynamics continue to change.
The second session, AI Leadership in Action: Building the Global Workforce for the AI Era, brought together Victor Riparbelli and Joseph Atkinson to discuss how AI is reshaping work, leadership and the skills needed for the future workforce.
Beyond the sessions AC hosted, the conference's TED Talks programme offered an impressive range of perspectives. With the curator's eye firmly switched on, AC selected six ideas that particularly resonated, connecting technological developments with broader questions about humanity, collaboration and the future we want to create.
