AI Needs You: How We Can Change AI's Future and Save Our Own
AI will permeate our lives in unforeseeable ways, but it is clear that the shape of AI’s future—and of our own—cannot be left only to those building it. Verity argues that it is critical for society to take the lead in figuring out what, and who, this technology is really for, if we are to guide it away from our worst fears and toward a future that we can trust and believe in.
Moderated by Simon Mundy, Moral Money Editor at the FT, we hear from three leaders in climate and impact investing. What role should private capital play in helping us to achieve our climate goals? How do policy, regulation and global climate commitments shape the investment environment? And how do we maximise the real world impact of private investment?

Can the UK and the world reach net zero on time?
Is net zero by 2050 possible? What would it take to get there? On the one hand, the stock of renewable power generation and electric vehicles continues to grow rapidly; on the other hand, China continues to build new coal fired generation, citizens appear to be starting to push back against net zero policy, and the reality of reconfiguring our supply chains and the structure of the economy is starting to hit home.
