The World Economic Forum (WEF) has heard from a number of “stakeholders” regarding how they see a “Great Reset.”
“As folks go back to work, we will continue to anticipate digital information and technology to essentially be the foundation for this century and the Great Reset,” said Brad Smith of Microsoft. He went on to say that “we” need to maintain people’s trust in order to go forward. “This involves their privacy and their security as well as ensuring that emerging technologies, particularly artificial intelligence, are used responsibly around the world.”
IMF representative Kristalina Georgieva stated that “Digitalization is the big winner of such a crisis.” She also suggested “public and private investment for low-carbon industries,” bizarrely stating that she wants a “fairer” society while working for the organization that has done the most to deepen global inequality.
