Technology, Wars, and Empires. Multinational corporations now operate on the front lines of geopolitics, where trade volatility, regional conflicts, and rapid AI adoption create immediate regulatory and boardroom risk. This session examines the modern corporate battleground through three lenses: technology, which generates novel liabilities around AI governance and dual-use export controls; wars, which heighten enforcement risks across disrupted supply chains, aggressive sanctions interdiction, and criminal trade fraud; and empires, which force multinational enterprises to navigate the expanding extraterritorial reach of regulators.
