On January 28, 2021 Davos Agenda virtual panel went over how synthetic intelligence (AI) will "basically change the world". 63% of CEOs think that "AI will have a larger effect than the Internet." Throughout 2020, the Great Reset Dialogues led to multi-year projects, such as the digital change programme where cross-industry stakeholders examine how the 2020 "dislocative shock" had actually increased and "accelerated digital improvements".
