Grand Ballroom: The New Rules of the Game: Session XVI: Keynote: The World is Changing Faster Than We Think: AI, Quantum, and the New Tech Order
Thursday May 7, 2026 9:25am - 9:50am IST
Grand Ballroom
As AI begins to scale into real-world execution and quantum emerges on the horizon, enterprises are being pushed to rethink how they operate in a more fragmented global environment. Data, regulation, and technology access are no longer uniform across regions. The next wave of advantage will come from the ability to execute intelligently across these differences. GCCs are becoming central to this shift, serving as the layer where AI systems are implemented, governed, and aligned to local constraints.
