AI&Economy-WEF 2026

(The World Economic Forum produced a lot of important news.) 

I have not had time to go through it all. I push it and may update this page later.

Jensen Huang’s five layers of AI could be important. Palantir’s Alex Karp could be important. In the past, software was divided into layers of architect, analysis, programmer, and testing. This will be completely abandoned. My guess is top-down. Alex Karp is not a great speaker. …. But Palantir is the only company that apply AI to many industries.
