The depth of the discussion ranged from leveraging technology to meet human needs to re-imagining business through thought-provoking “what if” scenarios.

Here are 3 key takeaways

✨ Innovation Meets Human Essentials: Henry emphasized the importance of aligning novel tech like AI with real human needs – AI is a business enabler in the age of rapid change.
