The acceleration of AI into every aspect of work and life poses both exciting opportunities and urgent threats. Intelligent machines will spark new business models and drive global innovation. What measures should business and policy leaders take to ensure that AI will lead to positive outcomes for humanity and more just, inclusive, and dynamic economies around the world?

As the challenges of deepening economic inequality and large-scale structural transformation are heightened by divisive politics in America, how can both parties inspire a new era of Inclusive Capitalism?

Ten years after the financial crisis, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) continues its vital role of protecting investors, advancing efficient markets, and encouraging capital formation. How is the SEC strengthening its responsibility to these goals in light of increasing social, environmental, and demographic pressures?

The Embankment Project for Inclusive Capitalism (EPIC) is an 18-month commitment by more than 30 global business leaders representing nearly $30 trillion of assets under management to develop a standardized, material, and comparable set of metrics to measure Inclusive Capitalism, led by EY and the Coalition for Inclusive Capitalism. This first public discussion of the EPIC work product examines how asset owners, asset managers, and asset creators can use EPIC metrics to both measure and report on activities that create long-term shareholder value and positively impact a broad range of stakeholders.
EPIC CEOs host table discussions focused on EPIC value drivers. Through the lens of their individual organizations, participants design an action plan for improving and implementing EPIC metrics – and applying them across companies and industries. The working session groups will be organized around the unique challenges and opportunities of asset owners, asset managers and asset creators.
