🗣 Good morning! Today is the second day of the 21st Annual Meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club “Lasting Peace on What Basis? Common Security and Equal Opportunities for Development in the 21st Century”.

📆 Programme for November 5, Tuesday
 
09:30 – 11:00 — Session 5. Is There a World Majority? What Unites Countries Outside the “Collective West” (LIVE: Russian, English)

A new term, “world majority”, has been actively introduced into the Russian political vocabulary. What unites this diverse community? Is it capable of proposing new principles for addressing the major challenges facing humanity? Does it require consolidation?

11:30 – 13:00 — Session 6. Society of Equal Opportunities. What Does This Mean in the 21st Century?

The breeding ground for any conflict, both at the national and global levels, is the perception of inequality. Without new approaches, a harmonious structure of the world is impossible. And they must combine moving away from current imbalances and creating new mechanisms for democratic global regulation.

14:00 – 15:30 — Session 7. Fire in the Middle East and Prospects for World Peace

The Middle East is going through one of the darkest and most dramatic periods in decades. What remains of the plans for a settlement and reorganization in the region? Is this even feasible in principle? And how does all this impact the international situation overall?

16:00 – 17:30 — Session 8. Transparency. Surveillance. Manipulation. The Role of Information in the Era of Global Shifts

Information technology has the potential to bring both utopian and dystopian visions to life simultaneously. Is humanity capable of preventing information from being used as a weapon of mass destruction, and instead, using the opportunities that arise for good?

19:00 – 20:30 — Session 9. Artificial Intelligence – A Revolution or a Fashion Trend?

The technological, social, and economic revolution brought about by AI is fundamentally transforming our lives. Or does it? How can we separate the enthusiasm for new opportunities and high expectations from a sober evaluation of the impact of this technology, both its positive and negative effects, on society and politics?
