AI: What Changes Next? Systems, Ethics, and Power Shifts

This is a small-group online discussion for people interested in thoughtful, grounded conversation about how AI is reshaping systems, ethics, and global power.

Each person will have 3 minutes to share (optional) a perspective from the topics below, or introduce a related idea.

After everyone has shared, we’ll move into a short open discussion.
The goal is curiosity, not debate. Challenge ideas, not people.
