Monaco to host international Artificial Intelligence Conference at the Yacht Club

Monaco will host a high-level Artificial Intelligence Conference at the Yacht Club de Monaco on Saturday 2nd May, bringing together speakers from Silicon Valley, Seattle, London, Paris, Milan and beyond for an afternoon of cross-disciplinary discussion on how AI is reshaping markets, institutions and capital allocation.

The event is co-organised by Business Future Institute, led by Silvia Andriotto Melia, and AI Monaco, led by Leonardo Fabbri, adjunct professor at the International University of Monaco. It is the third edition of the AI Monaco conference and marks the first collaboration between the two organisations.

“Our ambition is to foster a high-level, forward-looking dialogue on artificial intelligence and emerging technologies, connecting frontier innovation with finance, law, governance, investment and the concrete challenges that decision-makers and investors must address in an era of rapid transformation,” said Andriotto Melia.

The programme draws on a deliberately varied speaker roster spanning technology, finance, law, robotics and medical research.
