City Readiness at Davos 2020: Strategies for AI Disruption
Where: The World Economic Forum's 50th Annual Global Meeting in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland
When: Tuesday, January 21, 2020
Since its launch at Davos in January, 2019, the Oliver Wyman Forum has been at the forefront of examining the challenges and opportunities that new technologies will bring to the cities and business models of the future. Our unique research, the Global Cities' AI Readiness Index, mapped the most influential variables and identified key stakeholders for the incoming disruption AI implementation will surely bring.
Now, we're moving the discussion from measurement to action at the World Economic Forum's 50th Annual Global Meeting in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland on Tuesday, January 21, at 7:00 am.
The Oliver Wyman Forum is hosting an invitation-only breakfast and interactive panel discussion, titled "Meeting AI Disruption Head-on in Today's Cities," moderated by Zach Seward, chief executive officer and co-founder of Quartz. Joined by leaders from civil society, academia, and business, the panel will share their unique perspectives on how cities can be resilient to and prepared for AI disruption while exploring its potential risks and how to mitigate them.

Previously: Financial Regulatory Outlook Conference 2019
Where: Rome, Italy
When: November 26, 2019
With accelerating pace, more and more banking services are being performed outside traditional banks. This is driven both by push and pull factors. Two major regulatory reforms in Europe – the second Payment Services Directive (PSD II) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) – are forcing banks to share their customer data with competitors and put the individual in control of how their data is – and is not – used.
During the conference, entitled "Open Finance: A Game-Changing Reform," we will explore where different players stand in their journey in adapting business models and data strategies, the new risks to information security and financial integrity, and the many challenges facing supervisors.

Previously: Singapore Summit | AI in the World's Leading Cities
Where: Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore
When: September 20, 2019
Artificial intelligence will disrupt the ways we work, communicate, and live. It will bring greater efficiencies, but it threatens to increase social, economic, and technological inequalities. Such ambiguity is nowhere more evident than in our cities, which are now home to more than half the world’s population.
Our inaugural discussion at Davos 2019 on City Readiness for AI addressed the broader question of whether we are prepared to live with all of the outcomes from AI. How can the cities we live and work in best prepare for, and best succeed in, the age of AI? How can they address the risks? Following up on a successful discussion in January at Davos, this Oliver Wyman Forum breakfast seminar continued with opening remarks by Dr Janil Puthucheary, Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Transport & Ministry of Communications and Information. SMS Janil’s remarks were followed by an expert panel discussion that will address key questions on AI governance:
• What is the overall role of cities in advancing and governing AI applications?
• What makes some cities more ready than others for the age of AI?
• What are the major risks cities and their residents face from AI, and how can we mitigate them?
Panelists included: Bing Xu, Co-founder, Board Member, Board Secretary, SenseTime; Prakash Kannan, Chief Economist, GIC.
