Davos 2026

Main highlights

𝗪𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽 𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗼𝘀 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲.

I feel very privileged to have met, in person, several people whose work has inspired my research throughout my life. I’m also grateful for the many unexpected thoughtful conversations during the World Economic Forum week. It felt like an year worth of networking compressed into 96 hours.

A few highlights from the week (photos attached):
-First night out at Cloudflare dinner meeting with Andrew Ng was a personal milestone. I’ve been following his work ever since the early Coursera days and feels unnatural to finally see him in 3D and not 2D
-Imperial College London lunch/dinner with David Shrier
-AI House Davos - my base camp for most of the week
-Goldman Sachs alumni, always energizing to reconnect Gary D. Cohn
-Imagination in Action (Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) x MIT Media Lab) has been the pinnacle of the week for me
-The one and only Yann Le Cun!!
-And eventually Monaco Day in Davos, my new home place with a solid speakers line up. Congrats Ludmilla Raconnat Le Goff and Celine DERI for the organisation

Clearly the main topics have been AI, sovereign tech and robotics.
Grateful for the experience, now back to work.
