    A Reflective New Year Note: Preparing for the Intelligent Age


    At the threshold of a new year, I find myself less inclined to make predictions and more inclined to pause.

    We live in what I call The Intelligent Age - an age shaped by artificial intelligence, longer lives, and permanent connectivity. Much has been written about its opportunities and risks. Yet beyond institutions, markets, and technologies, this age reaches deeply into our personal lives. It changes how we work, how we learn, how we relate to one another, and how we make sense of ourselves.

    What feels new is not complexity alone, but responsibility. Many of the structures that once carried decisions for us - stable careers, clear professional paths, trusted authorities - have loosened. Judgment increasingly returns to the individual. We are invited, sometimes uncomfortably, to think for ourselves, to learn continuously, and to decide when not to delegate our choices to systems, experts, or algorithms.

    The Intelligent Age Series


    A New Chapter in My Journey – Serving Humanity through Knowledge and Vision

    This week marks an important milestone in my life’s journey. I am publishing my new book, Thriving and Leading in the Intelligent Age, which opens a new chapter, not only for me personally but also for the mission that has guided me for more than half a century.

    After over 50 years leading the World Economic Forum and working with countless leaders across all sectors of society, I now feel called to dedicate my experience, energy, and reflections to a new purpose: helping humanity understand and navigate the most profound transformation in its history – the transition into the Intelligent Age.
