Artificial intelligence is redefining global competitiveness, and Serbia must adapt strategically to remain resilient and innovative. This high‑level conference convenes leaders from academia, business, government, and civil society to bridge fragmented discussions on AI and generate coordinated, forward‑looking insights.
Through two thematic panels, the program examines how small economies can position themselves in global AI value chains and how labor markets, skills, and governance must evolve in an AI‑driven era. By fostering dialogue across sectors, the event advances U.S. priorities of promoting innovation, transparency, and institutional capacity while supporting the development of a skilled workforce capable of thriving in technological transformation.
In doing so, the program reinforces America’s excellence in thought leadership and innovation diplomacy—demonstrating how U.S. engagement helps shape global standards, empower emerging economies, and strengthen transatlantic cooperation. At the local level, it equips young professionals and future leaders with knowledge and cross‑sector perspectives, ensuring that Serbia’s adaptation to AI contributes to long‑term growth, stability, and a more competitive global economy aligned with U.S. values.
