by Tim Hinchcliffe | The Sociable
World Economic Forum (WEF) founder Klaus Schwab says that the world is undergoing profound systemic transformation driven by five interconnected shifts.
In the intro to the WEF Annual Report 2023-2024, the WEF founder said that we were living in transformative times and that there were a handful of factors driving this systemic transformation.
“We are on the cusp of a profound systemic transformation driven by interconnected shifts in a rapidly changing world”

The five “interconnected shifts” include:
- Transition from the industrial to the intelligent age
- Conflictual transition from a unipolar to a multipolar world
- Need to transition to a green economy
- Demographic shifts from a young to an ageing world
- Societal polarization and rise of misinformation
Let’s go through these transitions one-by-one, starting with the so-called “intelligent age.”
The “Intelligent Age” was coined by Schwab himself at this year’s World Governments Summit, which was held last February in Dubai, UAE.
There, the unelected globalist said that the fourth industrial revolution — which will lead to the fusion of our physical, biological, and digital identities — was powering a global transition of humankind into a new era called the Intelligent Age in which “humankind will enjoy many more opportunities and possibilities.”

“I had about 20 pages of text, and I asked ChatGPT, ‘Summarize the text, and tell me now, based on our discussion, how will the new era — the intelligent era — will look like‘”

Schwab pumped his idea of an intelligent age into ChatGPT, and this is what he said ChatGPT told him:
“Envisioning a future propelled by the technologies of the fourth industrial revolution we see a NEW DAWN of human civilization — one that harmonizes technology with the deepest needs and aspirations of humanity.
“This mission unfolds within a society where artificial intelligence, robotics, the Internet of Things, 3D-printing, genetic engineering, quantum computing become the foundations of our daily life, yet are guiding by a profound respect for human values, creativity, and the natural world.”

“The geopolitical landscape is shifting from a unipolar world dominated by a single superpower to a multipolar reality with multiple influential nations”
