The Future in Motion- AI, Sustainability, and Mobility

This panel brought together a diverse group of experts from investing, academia, research, and industry, each working across different domains including aviation, ground transportation, maritime, and even space mobility. The discussion centered on how AI and autonomy are rapidly advancing mobility technologies, from self-driving cars and drone aviation to electric hydrofoiling boats. Panelists highlighted that recent breakthroughs in AI are driving faster design, simulation, and deployment of new mobility systems, making once labor-intensive processes now scalable through robotics and edge computing. The conversation also focused on sustainability, with speakers noting how AI can optimize mobility networks to reduce idling, support electrification, and balance environmental, financial, and social challenges across infrastructure and urban planning. In particular, innovative design in electrified vessels shows how sustainability and profitability can work hand-in-hand, while advances in sensor technologies and low-power silicon are enabling AI to run efficiently everywhere—from edge devices to cloud platforms. The panel concluded by considering the complicated interplay of infrastructure, cost, accessibility, and equitable societal impact as AI shapes the future of mobility, underscoring the need for holistic systems thinking and interdisciplinary collaboration.
