Parallel Session II: Investing in Artificial Intelligence and the Future Smart Society

AI Investment Pathways: Infrastructure, Governance, and Cross-Border Interoperability

  • As AI systems increasingly demand substantial computational resources and robust technical infrastructures, how can investments be strategically directed towards high-performance data centres and other digital infrastructure? 

  • Given the current fragmentation in cross-border data flow protocols and algorithmic regulatory standards, how can platform-based investments, regional cooperation mechanisms, or policy-driven tools contribute to constructing interoperable data infrastructures?

  • What policy instruments can developing economies deploy to channel capital into digital infrastructure, while promoting social inclusion and resilience?

“AI + Industry”: Driving Structural Transformation and Investment Synergies

  • As global industries undergo systemic upgrading, how will AI applications across manufacturing, energy, healthcare, and transportation sectors influence capital allocation? Which sectors present the highest potential for investment and transformative impact?

  • Considering regional disparities in industrial bases, data compliance, and technical capacities, how can cross-border investment platforms facilitate institutional alignment, risk mitigation, and market access for AI+ industry projects?

  • In the broader process of AI-enabled industrial transformation, how can emerging investment areas, such as green transition, skill development, and infrastructure upgrading resonate with AI-focused funds and blended finance instruments to shape a diverse and sustainable investment ecosystem?
