    This is a replay of the session that took place on the Solutions Stage during the AI for Good Global Summit in Geneva, Switzerland from 8 to 11 July, 2025. This discussion will focus on the significant behavioral, cultural, and societal shifts that the human race will need to consider and start to prepare for in the next 5-10 years as a result of the exponential pace of change resulting from AGI.  A professional “Scenario Planning” technique will be leveraged by the guest Speaker, thus making some assumptions (i.e., near-term rapid pace of technological unemployment/displacement, robots driving cost-of-labor/production to “near zero” (comparatively), psychological “loss of human Identity”, abundance of historically scarce products and services (e.g., healthcare, housing, transportation, etc.. ).  With these assumptions applied to a scenario, in the brief time allotted, the Speaker will share some thoughts for preparing for this future under the specific scenario put forth, exploring what our human architects of this near-future society – and all of us – will need to consider in domains such as public/private education and learning, building and reimagining the role of citizens and governance in local communities, human’s relevance and redefinition of what we value and appreciate, even touching on dating and relationships.
