Kumar Garg, founder of Renaissance Philanthropy and former White House advisor, offers a compelling vision for how philanthropic capital can flow more effectively toward solving the world's biggest challenges.

He also explores how education, AI readiness, and cross-domain expertise present enormous opportunities for philanthropic impact… But only if we can evolve our deployment models to match the speed of technological change.
