Moneycontrol through its comprehensive and on ground coverage of the World Economic Forum will shine a light on the challenges racking the global economy, the outlook for 2024, the disruptive power of AI and why India continues to be a bright spot in an uncertain world.
The 54th annual meeting of the World Economic Forum will take place between 15-19 January 2024...
The theme of the conference is Rebuilding Trust will focus on exploring the opportunities enabled by the new technologies and their implications on decision-making and global partnership. It will convene over 100 governments, major international organisations, over 1000 global companies, civil society, academia and global media.
The programme embodies a “back to basics” spirit of open and constructive dialogue between leaders of government, business and civil society. The goal is to help connect the dots in an increasingly complex environment and provide foresight by introducing the latest advances in science, industry and society.
A look at the four key focus areas this time:
How can we effectively deal with security crises, such as the current situation in the Middle East, while at the same time putting the floor under the structural forces of fragmentation? How can we identify areas where cooperation is essential to ensure a win-win scenario for all stakeholders?
How can government, business and civil society come together around a new economic framework to avoid a decade of low growth and put people at the centre of a more prosperous trajectory? How can we minimize trade-offs and maximize synergies in a situation where traditional measures seemingly fail?
How can we use AI to benefit all? How is the divergent regulatory landscape balancing innovation with societal risks? How will AI interface with other transformative technologies, including 5/6 G, quantum computing and biotechnology?
How can we develop a long-term systemic approach to achieve the objectives of a carbon-neutral and nature-positive world by 2050 while providing affordable, secure and inclusive access to energy, food and water? How do we balance these trade-offs to achieve social consensus?
