Intelligent Cars, Ethical Questions: Defining the Boundaries of AI
This session dives into the multifaceted challenges of advancing AI and the ethics that come with it. Featuring keynotes from thought leaders, expert insights, and a lively panel debate, we’ll explore how cutting-edge technologies like AI and autonomous vehicles can align with sustainability goals, social responsibility, and ethical standards.
 
AI is reshaping the way we move, connect, and innovate—but not without raising critical questions about data security, governance, and public trust. As companies and governments navigate international regulations and compliance concerns over data control and ethical use continue to mount.

From corporate social responsibility to bias in machine learning, the session will tackle the tough questions:

• As we push for innovation, how do we ensure that AI and technology serve humanity, promote equity, and drive real sustainability?

• Can we prevent job losses from automation while fostering new economic opportunities?

• And ultimately, how do we balance the relentless drive for innovation with the need for ethical boundaries?

 
By bringing together diverse voices—ranging from industry leaders to renowned experts in AI ethics—this session promises a thoughtful and forward-looking dialogue on building a sustainable, inclusive, and responsible AI-driven future

The New Generation of Parents at Work: Knowledge and Action - Leading for the Present Without Compromising the Future
The dynamics of work and family are constantly evolving - especially with advancements in technology and shifts in societal norms. This evolution calls for organizations to adapt - yet a lack of knowledge leaves many employers struggling with high rates of sick leave and turnover amongst parents in the workplace. 
While mothers are haunted by “The Child Penalty,” fathers often face high expectations and a lack of support. Ultimately, parents today are stretched in the split between career and family, feeling “never good enough.”
​
Worldwide, many nations look to Norway for policies on parental leave and public child care services. But what is the missing piece in Norway, unlocking the potential to make parents and new families thrive? 
There is a compelling business case for supporting employees before, during, and after they have children. The alternative can have detrimental effects on our health and society - for this generation and the next. 
Join us for an insightful conversation as we delve into the research, lived experiences, and the structural and political barriers that the new generation of parents faces today. A session that aims to highlight both weaknesses but also opportunities in what we call “magical window time.”
