INSEAD, The Business School for the World, today announced the launch of the INSEAD Global AI Forum Series 2025, to be held across its key locations in Abu Dhabi, Singapore, Fontainebleau and San Francisco.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the boundaries of human achievements. As AI begins to rival and surpass human intelligence across diverse tasks, it presents both extraordinary opportunities and significant risks. This makes the careful integration of human and machine intelligence critical to societal progress.
The INSEAD Human and Machine Intelligence Institute (HUMII) is a newly created think tank that will explore how human and machine intelligence can work together to improve societal outcomes in the age of intelligence. It focuses on building skills for future business leader, research insights into human and machine co-intelligence, and applying knowledge to enhance human agency.
Lily Fang, Dean of Research and Innovation at INSEAD, said, “As a leading global business school, INSEAD is uniquely positioned to lead discussions on the societal implications of human-machine co-intelligence, on AI's impact on people, businesses and society. While we leverage the huge potential of AI to create value, we must also safeguard the essence of human agency.”
INSEAD Global AI Forum Series 2025
Supporting HUMII’s vision, INSEAD will host four Global AI Forums in 2025.
Anchored by its faculty, each Forum will gather dignitaries, industry leaders, alumni, and students for vibrant discussions on AI's impact on business, society, and the economy.
These dialogues and debates will foster deeper insights into how AI and human cognition can complement and elevate each other. This understanding will help leaders harness AI to drive responsible, human-centric innovation, and shape organisations and societies that place people at their centre.
