- New episode: Twelve brilliant minds take on the issues shaping tomorrow’s world
- Your Sunday reading list
Whether it’s artificial intelligence, sustainability, or the global economy, our world is changing dramatically. However, we are at the right place at the right time to make a large impact on humanity. This week, global leaders come onto the debate stage to listen to each other with an open mind and find solutions to today’s problems.
The Open to Debate team was on the ground in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to stage three debates at the Future Investment Initiative (FII) Institute’s Flagship Conference, where we joined them as a Knowledge Partner. There, we gathered twelve of the world’s greatest thinkers, including CEOs, entertainment executives, and economists, for three critical debates: a rapid-fire style debate called Clash of the Titans, a debate with unresolved questions about Europe’s economic outlook, and whether AI-generated entertainment would replace human creativity. Moderator-in-Chief John Donvan, Open to Debate CEO Clea Conner, and journalist and moderator Edie Lush moderated these debates.
These debates are ones you don’t want to miss. We thank the Future Investment Initiative for their support.
Find out by listening to the debate on our website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube and keep a lookout for an interview our CEO and Chief Content Officer conducted with FII’s CEO Richard Attias. As always, let us know what you think.
