OTT Conference special | The knowledge in this room: What comes next by Erica Schoder

Recorded live at the OTT Conference 2026 in Rabat, Morocco, this special edition of OTT Talks brings you the keynote speeches from the 10th edition of the conference.

What happens to think tanks when artificial intelligence can produce analysis in seconds?

In this keynote from the OTT Conference 2026, Erica explores how AI is reshaping the production of knowledge and what this means for policy research organisations. While AI can dramatically expand analytical capacity, she argues that the most valuable forms of knowledge still emerge through human encounter, judgement and relationships built around shared stakes and difficult decisions.

The session reflects on trust, expertise, institutional value and the future role of think tanks in an AI-mediated world.
