The convening will bring together international economists, AI research organisations, global institutions, think tanks, and delegates from countries attending the AI Impact Summit 2026. As governments develop AI workforce transition strategies, access to local AI usage data is increasingly important. The event will examine why such data matters, what level of granularity is needed, and why countries must have reliable access to it.
