This year’s theme is call to action for businesses, start-ups, investors and global leaders from government and academia to convene in Doha at this pivotal moment, to safely and responsibly shape the future of artificial intelligence. Now more than ever, it is imperative to bring together the visionaries and global leaders who will define this transformative future.

AI will transform the future of our societies, economies, and ways of life – it is up to us to decide how.
