Opening Keynote: Neil Sahota
UN AI Advisor and AI for Good co-founder Neil Sahota maps what artificial intelligence means for families of generational wealth in work, longevity, fortune and the world the next generation will inherit. For generations, families built enduring wealth by accumulating financial capital, investing wisely, and passing assets from one generation to the next. While these practices remain essential, they are no longer sufficient. We are entering an era defined by the convergence of many emerging technologies. AI, Blockchain, biotechnology, quantum computing, the Metaverse, and other exponential growth innovations accelerate and reshape industries, redefine markets, and compress the time between disruption and opportunity. In this environment, knowledge is increasingly abundant, expertise easier to replicate, and competitive advantages disappear rapidly. The scarce resource is no longer information. It is human judgment. To thrive, families must deliberately preserve, challenge, and compound the critical thinking that created wealth. They will build systems that transfer decision-making capabilities across generations, helping future leaders navigate uncertainty, recognize opportunities others miss, and adapt as the world changes around them.This keynote introduces a new framework for family offices and enterprising families: moving beyond wealth preservation to judgment preservation. Through compelling stories, practical examples, and a forward-looking perspective on technology, attendees will discover why the greatest family asset of the future is the ability to consistently make better decisions in a fast-moving world.
Neil Sahota is a globally recognised AI expert, United Nations AI Adviser, IBM Master Inventor and Co-Founder of the UN's AI for Good initiative.
He works with governments, Fortune 500 companies, boards and family offices to identify the opportunities and risks emerging technologies create before they become mainstream. Rather than focusing solely on AI itself, Neil helps leaders ask better questions, recognise asymmetric opportunities, and make more informed strategic decisions in an increasingly complex world.
His insights challenge conventional thinking and provide a practical framework for understanding where the next generation of value may be created.
