What if the answer to AI-driven job loss is not resisting automation, but deliberately designing new institutions—mission-locked, labor-positive, and evergreen—that scale human work into a billion dignified livelihoods worldwide?
As AI accelerates job displacement at unprecedented scale, incremental solutions are no longer sufficient. This closed-door session explores how social enterprises and social innovation could create 1 billion new jobs through new institutional models—evergreen, mission-locked, and labor-positive—to create resilient livelihoods at scale in sectors where human work remains essential, local, and non-automatable.
Join Nobel Laureate and HE President Jose Ramos Horta, leading social innovators, policy makers and corporate leaders for this discussion.
