Power, Technology, Humanity: A New Alignment
The fault lines of global fragmentation—and the accelerating pace of technological disruption—demand a fundamental rethinking of where power sits and how it shapes human possibility. In a world defined by interdependence, outdated structures cannot meet the scale or speed of the challenges we face.
Power, Technology, Humanity: A New Alignment convenes a two-day gathering of leading thinkers, practitioners, and institutional stewards committed to redesigning the terms of our shared future. Anchored in principles of digital sovereignty, ethical innovation, and inclusive growth, this summit examines how emerging technologies and governance models can recalibrate economic, social, and planetary systems at scale.
Across domains—from intelligent machines to new forms of value exchange, from climate-driven health pressures to space-based infrastructures—we will interrogate the shifts already underway and the frameworks required to guide them. This is an invitation to move from recognition to realignment: to ensure that technological progress advances human dignity, strengthens collective resilience, and expands shared prosperity.
Positioned on the cusp of Davos 2026 and its ethos of a “Spirit of Dialogue,” this roundtable sharpens our direction of travel. It lays the groundwork for the next era of action—where institutions, technologies, and societies move in concert to build a durable, interconnected digital commons for generations to come.
Day 1 | 11th December, 2025
10:00 AM - 10:10 AM | Opening: Welcome & Event Structure
10:10 AM - 11:00 AM | Roundtable 1
Tokenization in Agriculture: Value and Transparency in Global Food Systems
This roundtable explores two paths for agricultural tokenization: tokens as proof of provenance to build trust and traceability, and tokens as proof of impact to verify regenerative practices and unlock revenue through carbon credits and green premiums. We’ll discuss how these approaches can support a more transparent and resilient agricultural system.
11:00 AM - 11:50 AM | Roundtable 2
Policy as a Catalyst: Ethical Innovation and Inclusive Digital Prosperity
This roundtable will explore how tech policy can rebalance power around data and technology, and identify practical ways to turn ethics into a strategic driver of innovation and a more equitable digital future.
11:50 AM - 12:40 PM | Roundtable 3
Emergent Governance and Ethics—Anchoring Autonomy with Reflexivity
This Roundtable would explore how emergent governance and ethics is not only possible but necessary, along with the caveats, constraints, drift insulation and guardrails that need to be in place.
12:40 PM - 13:30 PM | Roundtable 4
Gender Equity and Healthy Longevity: Women’s Health for the Digital Age
This session examines why the paradox persists despite rising awareness and better solutions. We’ll highlight systemic drivers—late detection of key health conditions, uneven access to menopause and midlife care, lifelong economic penalties, and clinical models built on incomplete data about female physiology. Together, these forces compound over decades, leading to avoidable decline instead of supported aging.
13:30 PM - 14:20 PM | Roundtable 5
Rise of the Humanoids: Five Things You Must Know About Physical AI
Physical AI, the fusion of AI and robotics is transforming how we work, move, and interact. In this roundtable, Sandy Carter and global experts unpack five forces shaping the rise of humanoid robots: embodied intelligence, emotional interaction, edge autonomy, ethics in motion, and the economics of AI-driven labor. Together, we’ll explore how Physical AI will reshape industries, leadership, and our understanding of humanity.
Day 2 | 12th December, 2025
10:00 AM - 10:10 AM | Re-engaging the System
10:10 AM - 11:00 AM | Roundtable 6
CBDCs, Stablecoins, and Emerging Money Modalities: Towards New Value Exchange Ecosystems
This roundtable will chart existing and emerging modalities of money and examine how interoperable yet distinct forms of value, programmable or not, will shape the future of exchange. With a focus on stablecoins, we’ll explore their benefits, challenges, and critiques, including their techno-economic and geopolitical implications for privacy, finality, and transparency.
11:00 AM - 11:50 AM | Roundtable 7
Climate Change and Health: Building Resilience for Meteorological Extremes
This roundtable explores how linking meteorology, digital technology, and healthcare can reduce preventable harm during climate-intensified events. Meteorology offers high-resolution forecasting and advanced AI, while healthcare brings the clinical capacity to act on those insights. Emerging digital tools can connect the two through earlier triage, targeted outreach, and climate-informed clinical decision support.
11:50 AM - 12:40 PM | Roundtable 8
AI and Education: The Great Relearning Revolution
What if the next two decades reveal learners who thrive like never before? Map the forces shaping the world to 2045, identify the skills and mindsets needed, and lead a shift to human-centered education where AI augments intelligence, creativity, and adaptability. Join other visionaries to redefine meaningful learning and shape the future.
12:40 PM - 13:30 PM | Roundtable 9
Space, So What? The Next Frontier for AI, Blockchain, and Human Health
Space is becoming a frontier for AI, blockchain, and healthcare innovation. In this roundtable, Sandy Carter and global experts explore how space technology and decentralized systems are redefining trust, data, and wellbeing. Participants will discover how space-based networks, AI, and blockchain are driving inclusive, sustainable progress on Earth.
13:30 PM - 14:20 PM | Roundtable 10
Regenerative Digital Infrastructure: Architectures for a Shared Future
This Roundtable will create a thought-to-action space for critical reflection, structured discourse, and forward-looking collaboration around aligning people from various different areas from ecology, power, and technology to address the cross roads of sustainability and technology.
14:20 PM - 15:00 PM | From Dialogue to Design: Charting Our Collective Future
