📍 Davos, Switzerland – The 2026 World Economic Forum has kicked off, but one question stood out: “If you had $10 billion, where would you invest it?” CGTN reporter Yu Bokun hit the halls and got a near-unanimous answer: AI.
Why the AI frenzy? Here’s the lowdown:
- Generative AI – AI that crafts text, images and music is transforming creative industries. Imagine an app composing your next hit song or designing logos in seconds. 🎨
- Healthcare AI – From diagnosing diseases earlier to personalising treatment plans, AI is on track to revolutionise medicine. 🏥
- Climate AI – Smart algorithms are crunching climate data to predict storms, optimise energy use and help us fight climate change. 🌍
At Davos, everyone from startup founders to finance execs agreed: AI isn’t just hype, it’s the ultimate growth engine. For young pros in South and Southeast Asia, this means:
- Upskill with AI tools and courses (think TensorFlow, PyTorch, no-code platforms).
- Join local hackathons or online communities to network and build real projects.
- Keep an eye on AI-driven startups—from ride-hailing apps in Jakarta to fintech innovators in Mumbai.
Whether you’re planning your career path, launching a side hustle or simply curious about the future, one thing’s clear: AI is where the action’s at. Time to plug in and ride the wave! 🤖🚀
