In conversation with James Manyika

James Manyika, Senior Vice President of Research, Technology & Society at Google, unpacks what 2025 will bring for AI in science, economics, global governance and international cooperation. Key questions include: What will be AI’s global societal and economic impact in 2025 and beyond? What are the ways AI could help increase economic growth and economy-wide productivity? What factors must be in place for this to happen? How best can we maximize shared opportunities and advance global cooperation when it comes to AI? Where can public-private partnerships unlock scientific breakthroughs for societal progress, combatting shared global challenges such as climate change and global health issues? What are the principles of safe, responsible AI, and how should companies remain responsive to their evolution and integrate them into technology design and implementation? What is the current – and ideal – role of technology companies in emerging mechanisms for global cooperation and national governance on AI?
