Yeah, Jensen Huang is kind of the Trump version of the AI.

He is going to be the center of gravity when it comes to that discussion topic.

Also, there's celebrities that go to Davos.

Obviously, Neil and I are the headliners.

But in addition to us, David Beckham, Yo-Yo Ma, Matt Damon, and Will.i.am will be there.

Fun fact, Will.i.am is an AI startup founder.

He has a company called FYI, which is

a AI driven productivity and communication platform for creatives.

But it just goes to show you what we're kind of trying to lay out for you all is that there's such a wide breadth of people here that will all be rubbing elbows and mixing and just talking about what is happening with the world writ large.

I hope like Mark Carney runs into Matt Damon and somehow that conversation happens.

And somehow I hope Neil and I are part of that as well.

We also got a little bit of a preview in the form of the global risk report that the WEF released on Thursday.

This is where they surveyed 1,300 leaders across government, business, civil society to figure out what the biggest short-term and long-term risks are facing the world.

And the general mood is that the world is definitely on edge.

50% of those surveyed expected a turbulent global conditions over the next decade.

two years.

Only 1% said they expect calm, which I would love to be in their heads and what they're thinking.

Geoeconomic confrontation is now the top ranked near-term risk, which is defined as the weaponization of tariffs, use of regulation as leverage in supply chain control, generally using economics as a cudgel to get what you want.

Feels like that is very much top of mind right now.

And if you look at AI, which is a topic that we just touched on, AI-related risk moved up from the 30th highest short-term risk last year to the fifth highest long-term risk in the latest ranking.
