At this year’s AI Summit Vilnius, our Principal Economist Laura Galdikiene, PhD, delivered two standout contributions that tackled a timely and complex question: how will ageing populations and artificial intelligence reshape innovation and economic growth?


In her keynote “Ageing Societies & Innovation: Will AI Fund Our Future?”, Laura explored how demographic trends are shifting the boundaries of what innovation needs to solve — and how AI might be the key to unlocking long-term prosperity. Later, during a panel discussion, she joined industry experts to dive deeper into the future of work: continuous learning, flexible talent models, and the role of AI in rethinking how teams are built and supported.
Ideas that stood out:
- Ageing societies require smarter, not just faster, innovation
- AI isn’t just transforming what we build – it’s reshaping who builds it, and how
- Lifelong learning isn’t optional in an AI-powered economy
- Building resilient organizations starts with rethinking how we grow talent
