He cited the WEF's latest annual Global Risk Report 2025 that identifies the foremost risks, such as armed conflicts, extreme weather events, misinformation and disinformation, increasing divisions within societies, cyber espionage and warfare, and many more.
Simultaneously, we stand at the brink of the Intelligent Age, where Artificial Intelligence and other groundbreaking technological innovations will fundamentally transform our economic systems, business models, and personal lives, he said.
Schwab said the transition from the Industrial to the Intelligent Age is occurring at an exponential pace, carrying unprecedented risks for humanity as we strive to prepare and adapt for its complexities.
