Join us for an enlightening discussion with Richard Susskind, the world’s most cited author on the future of legal services and leading expert on the impact of AI in society, as he explores the key themes of his latest book, How to Think About AI: A Guide for the Perplexed.

Drawing on over 40 years of research and experience, Susskind demystifies artificial intelligence, shifting the focus from how AI works to how it will reshape business, law, ethics, and society. In an age where AI breakthroughs are accelerating at an unprecedented pace—now occurring every 6 to 12 months—the implications of this technology are more urgent than ever.
