AI Forum Asia 2026

INSEAD AI Forum Asia explores AI in the real world, from geopolitics and physical AI to the future of work and organisations. With the rapid advances in artificial intelligence, the world is facing dilemmas on multiple fronts. What if future leaders are empowered with the knowledge to create value in the age of AI? As the business school for the world, INSEAD is taking the lead in shaping the discourse about machine intelligence, focusing on its impact on business and society. Now in its second year, the global INSEAD AI Forum series continues to provide a platform to dialogue with businesses, academics, policymakers and the public to advance our understanding of AI and how it can complement human intelligence for the good of society. In this Asia edition, we shine the spotlight on AI in the real world, focused on the geopolitical realities and the rise of China, real-world applications including physical AI, and rethinking how work and organisations should be organised to get genuine value out of AI. Beyond the promise of ever-more pervasive AI, INSEAD faculty and practitioners will explore how individuals and organisations can thrive amid continuous change. Jointly, they will discuss how emerging technologies such as AI are transforming how people learn, work and relate, and how to shape these transformations to enable humans and organisations to thrive. The first day of the Forum features keynotes and panels exploring these topics, while these come to life on the second day in the form of hands-on sessions, demos and fireside chats.
