Bridging the AI Divide: A World Economic Forum Discussion

On the heels of the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting, a critical conversation about Artificial Intelligence (AI) took centre stage. The potential for AI to unlock economic growth and opportunity is undeniable, but public concerns about its risks linger. This panel discussion tackled the question: are these anxieties justified, or is there a gap between AI’s promise and its current delivery?Leading figures from industry, policy, and research convened to address this pressing issue. Zvika Krieger, representing the World Economic Forum, Liu Lifeng, CEO of Ipsos China, and Catherine “Kitty” Parry, CEO of DeepView, each brought their unique perspectives. The discussion was moderated by Oliver Cann, another member of the World Economic Forum’s executive committee.
