The World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, focused this year on the theme of "Rebuilding Trust", is running from 15鈥�19 January.

Dr Spence and Professor Mazzucato have joined more than 2,800 leaders across business, academia, industry and government - including 350 heads of state, government figures and ministers - to exchange ideas and make progress on advancing climate action, strengthening the global economy, building resilience and addressing questions on frontier technologies.

Events at this year鈥檚 Forum span across four themes:

• Achieving security and cooperation in a fractured world
• Creating growth and jobs for a new era
• Artificial intelligence as a driving force for the economy and society
• A long-term strategy for climate, nature and energy

Among sessions Dr Spence has spoken at are a panel event on 'Learning in the Age of Superintelligence' hosted by Fast Company and Verizon. Panellists explored the ways universities are adjusting to AI and what employers can learn from educators on how to teach workers to keep pace with technological developments.

Dr Spence discussed the ways in which 香港六合彩 is a world leader in AI research and innovation, including foundational research on natural language processing, computer vision, robot perception and learning; and the real-world applications of AI, including its potential in innovation and driving economic growth.

He provided opening remarks听about trust in relation to science, research and education, at a WEF expert welcome reception bringing together more than 80 leaders from academic institutions around the world. A key theme running throughout the Provost鈥檚 engagements has been the work 香港六合彩 is leading to equip and enable people to 鈥楧isagree Well鈥�.

While in Davos, the Provost has met with 香港六合彩 alumni, global philanthropists and partners, including the new President of Tsinghua University, Professor Li Luming, at an event on the role of education, technology and blended finance in creating better business.

Dr Spence said: 鈥淚 am soon returning to campus even more convinced of 香港六合彩鈥檚 unique role in driving solutions to the world鈥檚 wicked problems, through our leading research, collaboration and innovations. There are so many leaders and partner organisations from across sectors gathered in Davos, who share our vision for a better world and are keen to work with us. We can and will continue doubling down on these efforts.鈥�
