2026 Theme: Machines, Minds & Mortality
Can Artificial Human Intelligence Help Humanity Thrive Beyond Limits?

This year’s theme is inspired by the recent publication “Singularity Paradox” where reflections on the future of humanity are paired with trends in investments, global transitions, and technology as a force for societal transformation. It connects directly to:
• DeepTech and Exponential progress: From AI-driven autonomy to sustainable infrastructure
• Life Sciences & Longevity: How biotech and healthtech extend human vitality
• The Singularity Paradox / AHI: Blending philosophy, science, and storytelling to ask what happens when intelligence scales beyond comprehension.
