Imagine getting up close and center to hear from one of the internet’s founding fathers about the future of technology. That’s exactly what’s in store at the upcoming PTC’DC session, “A Look at New World Dynamics: Pitfalls and Opportunities.” On September 6, Vint Cerf, Google’s Chief Internet Evangelist and a key architect of the internet, will join our discussion on the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on our digital infrastructure.

Cerf’s unique perspective, shaped by decades of experience at the forefront of technology, offers invaluable insights into how AI is reshaping the very foundations of our digital world. From the potential risks to the groundbreaking possibilities, Cerf will share his thoughts on what lies ahead in our rapidly evolving digital landscape.

Joining him will be Eli Noam, Professor of Economics and Finance at Columbia Business School, whose expertise in telecommunications and digital media will enrich the conversation. The discussion, moderated by Robert Pepper, Senior Fellow, Global Digital Inclusion Partnership at Meta, will explore how AI can address global challenges like the digital divide, making technology more accessible and inclusive in every corner of the world. In addition, our panelists will address the critical role of thoughtful governance and innovation in steering AI’s future.

This session is not just another conference event—it’s an opportunity to engage with some of the leading minds in technology and policy. Whether you’re deeply involved in the tech industry or just interested in where the world is heading, this discussion will provide valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities that AI presents. Don’t miss this chance to hear from the very people who are shaping our digital future.

Join us at PTC’DC to be part of this important conversation and to connect with industry leaders and government representatives from around the world.
