AI Leaders from Three Regions Gather to Discuss Future of Work, Democracy, and Learning

Next week’s forum in San Francisco isn’t just another tech talk—it’s a high-stakes showdown on how the world is adapting to AI’s next evolution.

⏰ June 26, Grand Hyatt SF Leaders from the Bay Area, Ukraine, and the Baltic states will gather to dissect "agentic AI"—a breakthrough model that doesn’t just assist humans but makes decisions autonomously. This shift forces us to confront a future where machines shape jobs, education, and even the very fabric of democracy.

🚀 Morning: AI Agents and the Future of Work

The day begins with a hard look at how AI agents are transforming white-collar jobs. Representatives from Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania will argue that smaller economies can outmaneuver tech giants—not through massive budgets, but through agility, talent, and smart regulation.

• Startup founders and investors from the Baltics will showcase how they’re pushing AI into daily business, bypassing slow corporate pipelines.
• Pitch sessions will give emerging startups a direct shot at funding.
• Lunch discussions will explore a bold idea: a San Francisco hub for Baltic innovation, acting as a Silicon Valley outpost for Eastern European tech.

🏛️ Afternoon: AI, Democracy, and the Classroom of Tomorrow

The conversation pivots to democracy’s biggest challenge: Can societies trust AI to inform, not distort, public discourse?

• Estonia’s Minister of Education will reveal how the country is integrating AI into classrooms without replacing teachers. A custom ChatGPT model teaches students to question sources, analyze biases, and think critically—instead of blindly accepting AI’s output.
• Bay Area schools already teach AI literacy, but the real mission is deeper: preparing the next generation to understand AI’s flaws before it shapes their world.

The stakes? If AI starts making decisions without oversight, who controls the information? And if machines shape education, how do we ensure future voters think for themselves?

🔮 The Big Question

Agentic AI isn’t coming—it’s already here. The real race isn’t just about building the tech, but deciding who gets to use it, how, and why.

Will the world adapt in time?
