Investing in Artificial Intelligence

​Investing in Artificial Intelligence brings together two experienced leaders at the intersection of venture capital, emerging technology, and values-driven innovation to explore one of the most important investment themes of our time.

​Steve Petilli, Venture Partner at Cove Fund, is a seasoned entrepreneur and investor who has spent decades backing early-stage companies and guiding founders through growth. He brings a practical, disciplined perspective on evaluating opportunities, managing risk, and identifying long-term value in rapidly evolving markets.

​Karim Chehadé, Co-Founder of Truthly, combines a background in venture capital with a focus on building AI technologies aligned with Catholic principles. His work centers on ensuring that innovation in artificial intelligence reflects human dignity, ethical responsibility, and trust—issues that are becoming increasingly critical as AI adoption accelerates.

​Together, the panel will explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping investment decision-making, business creation, and competitive advantage. The discussion will cover how investors assess AI opportunities, where the most compelling risks and opportunities lie, and how founders and leaders can navigate this transformation thoughtfully.

​At its core, this conversation goes beyond technology—it addresses how faith, ethics, and sound judgment can guide investment in a field that will profoundly influence society, the economy, and the future of human work.
