How will we live, work, spend and play in an AI-enabled future?

As an editor overseeing the news agenda for WSJ’s annual Future of Everything event, I spend a lot of time thinking about those questions. On Wednesday, we’ll kick off two days of live interviews with folks who have the answers.

This year we’ve placed a unique emphasis on longevity. We’ll consider it in the literal sense, exploring the promise of longer, healthier lives with GSK’s Emma Walmsley. We’ll think about investing for an uncertain future with Wells Fargo CEO Charles Scharf and how the Trump administration could reset the world economic order with White House Council of Economic Advisors Chair Stephen Miran. (Chair Miran’s session will be livestreamed to WSJ.com; tune in to watch live.)

We’ll also explore longevity through the lens of professional staying power. Hollywood power duo Brian Grazer and Ron Howard join us for a live taping of the Journal podcast focused on the urgency of human–centric stories and their decadeslong creative partnership.

And I’ll sit down with Brooke Shields for a candid conversation about aging in the public eye. (Have thoughts on what I should ask? Shoot me an email!)

We’ll also talk to Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and XQ Institute CEO Russlynn Ali aligning high school with the jobs of the future. OpenAI COO Brad Lightcap will preview the company’s push to build the next generation of devices. And Dallas Mavericks CEO Rick Welts will talk about stepping out of retirement and back into the NBA spotlight.

I hope you’ll follow our coverage as we consider the biggest questions of today, and anticipate tomorrow’s!

Last week, we reported on researchers who are developing ways to use electricity to treat cancer and other diseases. Readers shared their thoughts on these treatments:

• “I certainly would consider new treatments that utilize electricity. We already use the technology directly in dermatology, plastic surgery, etc. I’d rather be shocked than have others be shocked that I’m no longer here!”—Jim Littlefield, Georgia
• “I wouldn't trust ‘newly developed medical treatments’ for anything, unless my life depended on it.”—Fred A., Florida
• “Yes, as a retired registered nurse, I would try an electricity based therapy for cancer. It might be a lot less toxic and painful than other therapies. It also might be beneficial as an adjunctive therapy.”—Eileen Ziff, California
• “Right now, I think it’s too early to sign on with that. It is not ready for prime time. Of course, it also depends on the patient. If there’s little time left on the clock, the patient may choose this with their fingers crossed.”—Eric Wilhelmson, New York
