Juno News - A walkthrough of the WEF conference

00:00:00.000 So these yellow gates behind me mark the entrance to the World Economic Forum 2024 conference.

00:00:07.560 Only those accredited by the World Economic Forum are allowed to pass through these gates.

00:00:13.740 Unfortunately, this year True North has not been accredited by the World Economic Forum,

00:00:19.260 but there is plenty more to see in Davos. So take a walk with me along the promenade here in Davos.

00:00:27.060 Buildings like the Ukraine house behind me are a very common site here at Davos.

00:00:33.380 In fact, Ukraine was the main issue discussed yesterday at a conference featuring some global leaders,

00:00:42.420 including Ukrainian presidential chief of staff Andrei Yermak.

00:00:47.300 Other sites that are common here at Davos are issue-specific centers like this one right here.

00:00:53.620 This is the Davos Climate Hub. It's not open today. It will open tomorrow and remain open for the

00:01:01.820 endurance of the conference. This year's conference seems to be more focused, however, on issues like

00:01:08.480 the threats posed by artificial intelligence and misinformation and disinformation,

00:01:15.140 whereas past iterations of the conference have put the issue of climate at the forefront.

00:01:21.700 As I mentioned earlier, artificial intelligence is one of the main issues being discussed here at the

00:01:27.820 World Economic Forum. This Intel building is one of many dealing with the topic of artificial

00:01:34.900 intelligence, as well as crypto and blockchain.
