Panel Discussion AFinance
AI, Web3 and Finance Symbiosis — A Blue Ocean Opportunity for Humanity
Beyond the red ocean of speculative crypto and efficiency-driven AI, the symbiosis of AI, Web3, and Finance opens a blue ocean of human-centric value — a new stack toward Finance for Humanity.
- How can AI and Web3 (e.g., on-chain payments) empower better finance for humanity?
- How can Finance and Web3 incentivize and govern AI for humanity?
- Will we shape this convergence as a speculative red ocean, or a blue ocean serving humanity at scale?

Panel Discussion BTradFi
The TradFi Dilemma — Security, Compliance, and the Battle for Web3's Soul
TradFi is accelerating into digital assets, but only on its own terms — security, compliance, and legal enforceability. As institutions enter, Web3 is evolving into a layered system of access, control, and regulated participation.
- With identity checks, whitelisting, and centralised intervention required, are we still building Web3, or rebuilding TradFi on blockchain rails?
- As custodians, issuers, and verification gatekeepers enter, are we reducing risk, or creating new points of concentration and control?
- With gated pools, tokenised RWAs, and permissioned DeFi, are we maturing the market, or fragmenting liquidity into separate on-chain worlds?

16:10 – 16:40
Panel Discussion CProfession
Faster Than Thinking: AI's Challenge to Every Profession
AI is no longer just automating tasks. It is reshaping how professions define competence, build expertise, and justify their value. Practitioners from media, law, finance, and education speak from the front lines.
- If AI can do in seconds what once took years of study and experience to master, what are we actually training people for?
- When algorithms shape research, analysis, teaching, and decision-making, what becomes the standard by which professional work is recognised, trusted, and valued?
- When algorithms shape more of your professional judgment, what happens to your sense of who you are?
