As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly embedded in organizational decisions, business operations and human interactions, trust is emerging as one of the defining strategic challenges of our time.
But what does trust really mean when intelligence and decision-making become distributed across people and systems?
How can organizations move beyond governance frameworks and compliance requirements towards meaningful accountability, resilience and sustainable value creation?
And how can leaders anticipate what comes next, rather than simply reacting to technological change?
Following the presentation of our inaugural Research & Strategic Foresight Report, Trust at Scale in the Age of AI, at the AI Game Changers Club Executive Exchange hosted at IBM Zurich on 8 October 2026, we are bringing the conversation to a global virtual audience.
This time, we go beyond the report.
Together with contributors to the AI Game Changers Club Executive Research & Strategic Foresight Lab, we will revisit key findings, challenge assumptions and explore the strategic implications for organizations navigating the next phase of AI transformation.
The dialogue will connect research, strategic foresight and real-world executive experience, examining not only where organizations stand today, but also the emerging shifts, leadership choices and capabilities that will shape what comes next.
This session is designed as an interactive executive dialogue, combining a moderated panel with an extended opportunity for audience questions, perspectives and practical challenges.
The real value of research and strategic foresight lies not only in what we discover or anticipate, but in how we translate those insights into meaningful action.
