    G1 Silicon Valley 2026 - Navigating a Strategic Roadmap for the US Japan Alliance

    Global instability and the rise of economic statecraft have elevated the US-Japan relationship to a critical point. This session examines the shift toward "de-risking" and the role of the alliance in maintaining a free and open Indo-Pacific. A defining factor in this strategic roadmap is the unique, positive rapport between Prime Minister Takaichi and President Trump, which distinguishes the US-Japan bond from other bilateral ties. Beyond defense, we explore how this exceptional alignment serves as a stabilizing force in a fractured world. How should leaders coordinate to ensure the alliance remains the cornerstone of global economic security?

    G1 Silicon Valley 2026 - A New Age of the Human AI Relationship

    As AI agents take over more of what we call "work" — writing, coding, analysis, decision-making — a fundamental question emerges: if productivity is no longer a uniquely human contribution, what is? This panel explores that question through the lens of Artificial Life. Unlike optimization-driven AI, life doesn't pursue predefined goals — it explores, diverges, and generates novelty. As Ken Stanley argues in "Why Greatness Cannot Be Planned," the most important breakthroughs come not from planning but from open-ended exploration.
