Program Release Date: December 06, 2024

In a world being reshaped by vital questions about AI, sustainability, and an uncertain global economy, now is the time for decisive action. As a Knowledge Partner with the Future Investment Initiative (FII) Institute, this episode will showcase the power of debate and its positive impact on humanity. With the debut of a new, engaging format, featuring three fast-paced rounds, six debaters take on questions of Money, Truth, and Power in a debate titled "Clash of the Titans." The debate examines three provocative questions with three sets of influential debaters: whether the future of currency is fiat or crypto, whether AI will change the nature of truth, and whether it's time to give even more power to tech companies.

You will also hear an excerpt of our "UNRESOLVED: What's Europe's Economic Outlook?" in which you will hear three influential titans of industry debate whether investors should make a bet on Europe.

In a full-standing debate on the popular topic of AI, you'll hear a spirited discussion about whether AI art can generate the emotional impact of traditional art and whether Western influence will dominate its evolution. These debates took place at the King Abdulaziz International Conference Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia during FII8.
