Some may say the recent World Economics Forum on Artificial Intelligence (AI) achieved nothing. I don’t entirely agree with that. In my view, the forum highlighted some fundamental elements of how the world should progress with the development of AI, emphasising the necessity for a controlled approach to this revolutionary technology. The forum brought to light the critical balance needed between innovation and regulation.
