There is a full Speaker Lineup at the Today’s DealBook Summit

What to Expect at DealBook Summit 2024 Full Speaker Lineup: David Ricks, A.F.L.A. and Sara Fain

The chair and C.E.O. of Eli Lilly is led by David Ricks, who works at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Shawn Fain, the president of the United Auto Workers, and Sara Nelson, the international president of the Association of Flight Attendants, C.W.A., A.F.L.-C.I.O.

Billions of dollars pouring into its advancement, new weight-loss drugs and their potential impact on industries, as well as the future of politics, media and political fund-raising, are what to watch.

There will be lots of questions about where we are going, and what the future holds. President-elect Trump has promised to disrupt the status quo in every corner of government. Can the independence of political institutions be assured? There is a question regarding the future of global trade alliances when a world embraces more protectionist policies. How will these shifts affect business, the economy and the markets? What does this tell us about who will win on Wall Street, in Washington and in Hollywood?

Looking elsewhere, what guardrails, if any, should be placed around powerful A.I. technologies? What are the implications of new attacks on corporate D.E.I. programs?

A Conversation with Tim Cook, CEO of Apple Park, at 9 a.m. Eastern, June 16-18, 2018, 8 p.M. ET

Andrew takes the stage around 9 a.m. Eastern, and the first conversation will start soon after. The team from DealBook and The Times will be at the conference.

Cook believes that Apple has been prepared for the revolution in artificial intelligence. As far back as 2018, he poached Google’s top AI manager, John Giannandrea, for a rare expansion of the company’s senior vice president ranks. Then he pulled the plug on a long-running smart-car program (an open secret never publicly acknowledged by Apple) and marshaled the company’s machine-learning talent to build AI into its software products.

In June, Apple announced the results: a layer of AI for its whole product line. Cook had also brokered a deal with the gold standard in chatbots, OpenAI, so that his users could have access to ChatGPT. I’d gotten a few demos of what they were planning to reveal, including a tool to create custom emoji with verbal prompts and an easy-to-use AI picture generator called Image Playground. I hadn’t yet tested the re-vivification of Apple’s mediocre artificial intelligence agent.

Cook didn’t panic. He doesn’t think that first is the best. “Classic Apple,” as he puts it, enters a cacophonous field of first-movers and, with a strong grasp of novelty versus utility, unveils products that make the latest technologies relatable and even sexy. Think back to how the iPod rethought digital music. It wasn’t the first MP3 player, but its compactness, ease of use, and integration with an online store thrilled people with a new way to consume their tunes.

Every time I go to Apple Park, my mind goes back to when the construction site was so dirty that the plants were in need of a transplant. I went with Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. The proprietor took me through the colossus and told me that I would have to make a decision on the new campus in 100 years.
