Artificial intelligence capabilities are advancing at a pace that increasingly outstrips human, institutional and policy adaptation. This creates new challenges for overall readiness — not only what AI systems can do, but how people and organisations engage with them in practice. This session brings together perspectives from frontier AI development, behavioural economics and applied behavioural science in global contexts to examine how accelerating capabilities interact with human judgement, incentives and coordination. The discussion will explore what this means for real-world deployment and system behaviour, and how institutions can adapt to support beneficial outcomes.
