About this session

The next great race is not for markets, talent, or technology. It is for intelligence itself, the real battleground of AI supremacy.

AI is not a software revolution. It is an industrial one. For the first time in history, non-biological intelligence is being manufactured at scale, built in massive facilities, powered by entire energy grids, and fed by global chip supply chains.

In this keynote, Nina Schick, the strategic mind behind the Industrialization of Intelligence will take you inside this new era. Her thesis is clear: AI is no longer just a business opportunity. It is the definitive engine of hard power. Drawing on her experience advising NATO, briefing former U.S. President Biden, working with the UN, the U.S. Army, and leading frontier companies, Nina has seen firsthand who wins, who falls behind, and why.

Through compelling insights and hard-earned lessons from the front lines, she will show how intelligence is becoming a utility, distributed like electricity, and why this changes everything. The companies, nations, and leaders that fail to lead will not just lose market share but risk losing autonomy, influence, and control over their future.

Key questions for today’s leaders:

• If intelligence is a utility, what role does your company play — producer, consumer, or dependent?
• How do you compete in a world where non-biological intelligence is abundant, low-cost, and globalized?
• Are you building the future, or waiting to import it?

This session is not about AI adoption. It is about strategy, survival, and power in a world where intelligence is industrialized. By the end, you will see why the companies, nations, and leaders that fail to lead the intelligence race will not just lose market share, they will lose autonomy.
