Knowledge Networks Convenes Global Leaders in WEF, Davos Annual Meetings to Advance Responsible AI Governance

Knowledge Networks held panels at Davos 2026 on AI governance, regulation, and trust, featuring global leaders to promote responsible AI innovation and scaling.

DAVOS, SWITZERLAND, January 29, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Knowledge Networks convened senior public-sector leaders and innovators during the World Economic Forum annual meetings in Davos to discuss AI governance, democratic resilience, and sustainable development in a multipolar world.

Ana Carcani Rold, CEO & Founder, Diplomatic Courier and the House of Kosova along with Knowledge Networks hosted a panel on "AI Governance in 2026: AI, Power, and Democracy in a Multipolar World" on January 22. The panel featured Dr. Jess Conser (Chief AI Impact Officer, Maginative), Dr. Clara Guerra (Director Stabsstelle für Digitale Innovation), Brando Benifei (Member of the European Parliament for Italy's Democratic Party), and Combiz Abdolrahimi (Global Head of Government Affairs & Public Policy, ServiceNow), with Ana Rold and Sanjay Puri as moderators.

Puri also moderated "AI in a Regulated World" at the Stanford HAI Davos Reception with Johan Juhlin (CEO & Co-founder, Mavatar) and Christopher Daden (CTO, Criteria Corp). Knowledge Networks thanked Stanford HAI and Alexander Widegren (Managing Partner, Global Conversations) for hosting the dialogue.

During the forum, Puri engaged with Andrew Ng (Founder, DeepLearning.AI) and Abhishek Singh (CEO, IndiaAI Mission), discussing India's leadership in ethical, scalable AI development. Knowledge Networks also participated in Young Davos: Directions for 2035, where emerging leaders co-created solutions for AI, governance, and sustainable growth.

"Davos made one thing unmistakably clear: the future of AI will be decided less by who builds the most powerful models and more by who earns trust through governance and implementation," said Sanjay Puri. "AI has moved from a technology race to a governance test—and the winners will be those who can deploy it responsibly, not just quickly. Regulation is no longer the enemy of innovation—it's fast becoming the condition for AI to scale responsibly."

These Davos Dialogues reinforced Knowledge Networks' mission to ensure geographic boundaries don't dictate who masters transformative technology, bridging where AI innovation happens and where it needs to happen.
