“There is a world wide open competition raging”
An OPINION by Frederick Sinclair,
The World Economic Forum (WEF) held its annual meeting, on January the 20th to the 24th 2025, in Davos Switzerland. There was over 3,000 in attendance representing 130 countries, including 50 governmental heads of state, engineers, CEOs, industry leaders, bankers and hundreds of other world leaders. Participation was by invitation only for a fee of $ 40,000 per delegate and the conference title was Collaboration for the Intelligent Age. The stated mission, “engages business, political, academic and other leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas.” along with the themes of rebuilding trust, reimagining growth and safeguarding the planet. The Master of Ceremonies was Klaus Schwab with his chosen successor Yuval Noah Harari, in the wings awaiting Schwab’s retirement.
Last year’s Davos meeting was unsuccessful in launching the ‘Great Reset ‘and ‘One World Order’ agendas into orbit. After reworking the basic premises of Schwab’s book ‘The Fourth Industrial Revolution’ the WEF has returned to the world stage with a repackaged approach to securing global control and power.
There is a world wide open competition raging; to develop Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the most advanced form and capability possible. The WEF sees it as the essential ingredient and catalyst for industry based world dominance and regional population control. The AI that has been released for general use by the public is already quite outdated in the face of what is currently being perfected by industry. This next level is referred to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and is a much more powerful level of intelligence that will be plugged into everything (the Internet of Things) by 2028. It will begin connecting all processes, including monitoring and controlling the flow off resources, money, production and people. The next phase is an upgrade to Super Intelligence (SI) that can reason, solve abstract problems, educate itself, think and reproduce. This ‘Super’digital intelligence is planned for 2030 and will have achieved sentience; notice how artificial has been dropped from the name. Does that foreshadow furthering the Transhuman Agenda? Davos attendee Jasper Brodin, CEO of Inga Group (IKEA) announced “the roadmap to transformation has started. It’s unstoppable.” Damiola Ogunbly CEO and Special Representative for the UN Secretary General for Sustainable Energy for All, stated “we are already collaborating at a scale where no one can stop it; not one country, not one leader making a decision, because it’s just the right thing to do globally.” What they are building is described as a corridor; ‘The Golden Global Gateway’ with everything coming together for the benefit of humanity. The WEF Collaboration for the Intelligent Age is a blueprint for reengineering society. Global developers have blown past the question of should we do AI and intend to win the race to total AI ‘that dwarfs the Manhattan Project’ in scope and urgency.
The required Internet of Things and infrastructure involving multiple data centers, covering hundreds of acres, are being assembled worldwide. The biggest remaining physical hurdle is the terawatts of energy that will be required to run the data centers. They will absorb all the wind and solar advances, and heavily impact the existing grid. Expanded nuclear, natural gas, and even coal are being considered as means of generating enough power to satisfy the future AI thirst for power.
Humanity is at the precipice of creating and empowering Super Intelligence (SI) and the scrum for who will control this capability and its ultimate use is in play. Yuval Noah Harari, slated to be the new head of the WEF, stated in his vision: “The era of free will is over. We are really acquiring divine powers, of creation and destruction. We are really upgrading humans into gods. We are acquiring for instance the power to reengineer life.” Harari made brilliant presentations of the crossroads humanity is approaching and outlined the need for global rules of engagement and cooperation, or, he predicts future conflicts utilizing current technology may lead to extinction. We can only hope separate versions of SI under development in China, Russia, EU, Japan and the US don’t go to war amongst each other.
