Impact Stage - Technology Panel 8 December 12:00 - 12:25PM
Media, Intelligence and the New Diplomacy
As global dynamics grow more complex and narratives become as powerful as tools, diplomacy is being redefined.

This session explores the intersection of AI, media, and foreign policy, asking what a credible, cooperative future looks like when trust, truth, and technology collide.
