Believing you can engineer something science has no understanding of may be the ultimate definition of stupidity.

Mounir Shita is a research scientist and theoretical physicist who has spent nearly three decades investigating the nature of intelligence. His work centers on a fundamental claim: that intelligence is a physical phenomenon requiring its own scientific theory before it can be engineered. He formalized this in the Theory of General Intelligence, presented at the International Conference for Advanced Research in Applied Science, Engineering, and Technology, and expanded it in his book Science of Intelligence, which argues for establishing intelligence as a distinct field within physics. He is the founder of Kimera Systems, a former AGI research startup, and currently leads EraNova Global and the Global Economic Alliance, a nonprofit exploring the civilizational consequences of AGI and ASI across economics, law, and governance.

Gabriele Viebach is a serial entrepreneur and strategic advisor with over a decade of experience guiding technology companies through disruptive transitions. As Chairwoman of the Emerging Information Technology Markets Group at the Diplomatic Council, a UN-registered think tank representing diplomats from over 50 nations, she developed the organization's Global Digital Agenda — examining not just the technological feasibility of emerging technologies but their economic and social consequences. Her career spans board-level leadership across Europe, including roles at Keto Software and Torus Energy Holding, with a consistent focus on translating visionary technology into executable strategy. At the Global Economic Alliance, she brings that operational discipline to the question that matters most: what happens to civilization when AGI arrives.

Adam Peer is a technology strategist with experience across emerging AI, intelligent automation, enterprise applications, and global e-commerce systems.
