At the World Economic Forum in Davos, it is essential to establish a commitment to collaboration to address the challenges of rapid transformation from industry to the era of artificial intelligence. This was stated by the founder of the forum Klaus Schwab. He noted that this transformation opens up tremendous opportunities for solving current problems and launching a new era of progress in the fields of knowledge, health, culture, and social well-being.
Schwab also emphasized the necessity of 'constructive optimization' in the global community and called on all sectors – governments, businesses, civil society, and academia – to unite for developing solutions to common challenges. He added that only through adopting constructive optimization and believing in collective possibilities to improve the world can the era of artificial intelligence be shaped when everyone can realize their potential.
According to the president of the World Economic Forum, Borge Brende, the world stands at the cusp of a crucial transformation, and 2025 will provide significant results. He emphasized that the global system has weakened over the last three decades, and there is a need to find more effective ways of collaboration as the only way forward.
