While Silicon Valley races to build superintelligence, 67% of AI systems already deployed show measurable bias. Tech giants are spending over $100 billion annually on AI development, yet compliance budgets rarely exceed $10 million.

The narrative is simple: Innovation-hungry companies versus regulation-happy bureaucrats. The reality is far messier.

The polycrisis has explicitly revealed the climate, ecological and social injustices that have resulted from the current, long-established, arbitrary growth-based systems in which we live - the very injustices and biases that often influence AI models and systems which are being used to solve tomorrow’s problems. What is being done to regulate and enforce responsibility in AI, to ensure that such injustices are not perpetuated further in the future, and that technological innovations act ethically, in support of people and planet, rather than against it? What role will AI have, at such a pivotal moment where we are reckoning with deep social and ecological crises which we want to eradicate, to create a more just, sustainable, and thriving future for all?
