WORLDWEBFORUM 2019
“Switzerland, The Blockchain Nation” – Ueli Maurer, Federal President 2019, opens WORLDWEBFORUM 2019, 17-18 January, Zurich
WORLDWEBFORUM welcomes Zurich Insurance Group as new Black Diamond Partner.
Artificial Intelligence, Big Data and Distributed Ledger Technology have triggered the next wave of rapid and radical changes in the world. With unprecedented computing power at our disposal, forces are shifting at all levels.
Who will win, who will lose? Will today’s power cartels lose control because the political, intellectual and economic establishment has no idea how to deal with the new technologies?
And will a new generation of revolutionary entrepreneurs use artificial intelligence, machine learning and big data to destroy existing power structures and become the new establishment – just like hippies with personal computers and their heirs with the Internet? Who will be master, who will be servant?
This question is the focus of the WORLDWEBFORUM 2019, which is dedicated to the topic “Master and Servant”.
