Inside the United States Capitol Complex, global leaders convened for “United in Liberty: The Rise of Spiritual Diplomats”, led by Mark Burns. More than a conference, it was a strategic gathering at the intersection of faith, diplomacy, and technological innovation focused on advancing principled leadership in a rapidly evolving world.
In this distinguished setting, Silicon Valley technologist and futurist Jasmine Shih delivers a timely message: in an era shaped by polarization and accelerating AI, our greatest leverage is not technological superiority, but human alignment. Innovation, she emphasizes, must amplify conscience rather than replace it.
Ms. Shih serves as Head of Strategic Partnerships & Investment Relations at the Institute for Advanced Studies and Cooperation (IASC) World Changers organization, founded by Sir Professor Dr. Gabriele Pao-Pei Andreoli. Ms. Shih is a venture capitalist and entrepreneur originally from Taiwan, she has lived and worked across continents, including Ghana and California (USA), bringing a global perspective to capital strategy, cross-cultural collaboration, and emerging technologies. She represents Agapo and works closely with Professor Andreoli on initiatives that bridge ethical technology with enduring spiritual values.
In this conversation, Jasmine explains why today’s geopolitical and societal challenges demand more than regulation - they require everyday diplomacy grounded in empathy. From quantum communication to artificial intelligence, she outlines how transformative technologies can reduce human burden and strengthen global connectivity when guided by value-centered leadership.
