Workshop #5: Economics of Decision-making for AI & Cyber

Markets for AI, data and digital infrastructure are evolving faster than many leaders can interpret. Platform power, network effects, concentration, trade restrictions, industrial policy and shifting state intervention are reshaping both commercial and policy decisions. Leaders who lack an economic framework risk overestimating hype, underestimating structural risk, and making weak strategic choices.
