The 27th World Knowledge Forum opened in Seoul, South Korea, on 8 September 2026 and runs for three days, until 10 September.
The theme is 'The Promethean Moment: Architecting the Co-Intelligence Order', framing artificial intelligence as the fire of the 21st century.
Sessions are organised around five pillars - Power, Capital, Intelligence, Planet and Humanity - at Jangchung Arena and The Shilla Seoul.
Former British Prime Minister David Cameron delivered the opening special address, 'A New Order of Coexistence in the Age of AI'.
The forum is convened annually by South Korea's Maekyung Media Group and is often called 'Asia's Davos'.
Co-intelligence treats artificial intelligence as a partner in decision-making rather than a replacement for the worker. The design question shifts from which tasks to automate to how humans and machines should divide judgement.
Simple Analogy: Not a machine that replaces the pilot, but the autopilot the pilot works with.
