Ahead of the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, which begins on 20 January, Amnesty International’s Secretary General Agnès Callamard said:

“As many of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful people meet in Davos once again, they must acknowledge the gravity of the challenges facing humanity and the urgent need to change course. The themes for this year’s event raise some difficult questions that must be addressed.

“Are we truly entering an ‘Intelligent Age’, as the World Economic Forum posits? While artificial intelligence, robotics and biotech advances claim to revolutionize our existence, there is no guarantee that all of humanity will reap the benefits. Enough warning bells have already been sounded about emerging technologies from experts and the communities most impacted by their unchecked use and deployment.
