As the day draws to a close, this final session will offer a moment to look back on the rich exchanges that have shaped the conference. We will revisite the ideas, provocations, and perspectives shared throughout the day. Together, we’ll explore how the presence of AI, robots, and autonomous agents invites us to rethink our roles, responsibilities, and possibilities in co-constructing a more inclusive and thoughtful future.
