AI can score a gymnastics routine with near-perfect accuracy and track a figure skater’s rotations in real time. Why are we hesitant to give up control in areas like law and medicine? This session argues that AI is forcing us to separate lines we've always blurred: pattern recognition and judgment. Looking at law, medicine, immigration, and other high-stakes fields, panelists will discuss where AI should take the lead, where human judgment remains essential, and where the boundary between the two is less clear than we think.

The core question for today's entertainment and sports representatives is no longer whether motherhood should be accounted for, but how. How do you structure agreements that protect both an athlete's evolving rights and the sponsor's business?
