IN SEPTEMBER, NEWSWEEK'S office on the 72nd floor of One World Trade Center in New York City was abuzz with experts in medicine and climate action discussing innovations and solutions in their respective industries.

At two kickoff events for Newsweek's latest initiative, Newsweek Horizons launched with thought-provoking panels focused on the ways artificial intelligence impacts both the medical field and climate science.

Newsweek Horizons is a series of panels and speakers designed to bring together new and diverse perspectives on potential solutions for some of today's key issues from health and wellness to climate and sustainability to technology and the workplace.

Newsweek's Chief Strategy Officer Dayan Candappa told the audience at the AI climate event that Newsweek, a magazine that has been in print for 92 years, knows a thing or two about reinvention. Innovation is more than just making "dazzling" breakthroughs; it sometimes means taking a "fresh look at an old problem in search of a new solution."
