The artificial intelligence boom is in full effect. From ChatGPT to robots, autonomous vehicles, and more, its disruptive nature is being felt around the world—across industries and in every walk of life. So will AI fuel the next great surge in productivity, innovation, and economic prosperity? Or is it the next great threat to jobs, industries, or even…humanity itself?

To explore these questions and more, we’re launching a new webinar series featuring top experts from the field, academia, and our own CIO team. Across four virtual events, we’ll cover all you need to know about AI, including its origins, modern-day applications, impact on areas like labor, education, and the economy, and of course the investment implications.

The first webinar will take place on Thursday, June 29 at 1 p.m. ET and feature Dr. Jules White, Associate Dean for Strategic Learning Programs and Associate Professor of Computer Science at Vanderbilt University. Dr. White is a renowned expert in the field and will be talking to our host, Anthony Pastore, about the past, present, and future state of artificial intelligence.

Obesity Therapies: Weighing the impact

Obesity is among the world’s largest public health crises, with the number of impacted adults projected to jump 50% by 2030.

During the past year, treatment methods have rapidly evolved. There is heightened enthusiasm around prescription weight loss drugs, especially GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1) medications, which were originally developed to treat Type II diabetes. GLP-1s¹ can regulate appetite and have emerged as a new generation of anti-obesity drugs after showing strong efficacy in helping non-diabetics lose weight.

So what does the future hold for these medications, and what could the impact be on society, the economy, the healthcare sector, and more? The UBS Chief Investment Office (CIO) invites you to a deep-dive conversation with Dr. Jamie Kane, Director, Northwell Health Center for Weight Management, and Paul Donovan, Chief Economist, UBS Global Wealth Management, hosted by Anthony Pastore.

We encourage you to tune in on Monday, October 2 at 1 p.m. ET. See below for additional details and resources.
