Entrepreneurship in the Age of AI

The emergence of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has sparked a surge in investment reversing the slow down of global venture capital funding seen in 2023. Such investments are projected to reach $200 billion by 2025 with AI start-ups set to drive growth across economies. Leaders will need to learn from the current applications of Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies, but also anticipate future advancements with the potential to drive productivity, growth and sustainability. Beyond the current boom of AI technologies is the rapid development of additional innovations – from biotechnology to quantum computing.

In this context, it's crucial for businesses, governments, and civil society to work together to find common solutions and take decisive action. Through its Centres, the World Economic Forum integrates public-private efforts to achieve greater impact.
