AI leadership mindsets vary across regions, but the core scaling challenge is universal: moving fast while governing responsibly. Drawing on research from the US, China, and Europe, plus data from the U.S. AI Executives Council, this panel explores the tensions, biases, and behaviors that accelerate or hinder growth.

It covers regional differences in risk, commercialization, and collaboration, followed by an interactive “Where is the heat?” exercise examining tensions such as speed vs. governance, access vs. protection, and exploration vs. proven impact.
