Dataswyft in Davos (Day 4: 23 Jan 2025)

Fourth and final day in Davos 2025, and Ivan Mortimer-Schutts and our CEO Irene Ng continue their Fireside Chat at the World Economic Forum at Davos.

They discuss the rise of big tech and AI; concerns around data provenance and the fairness of AI's value attribution to data sources; AI's impact on human skills and job markets, and the role of market concentration in the digital landscape; data exchange and coordination in a multipolar world, leading to a discussion about data as an asset and the importance of data democratization; and complexities surrounding data rights and the challenges of reconciling data democratization with cross-border trade and taxation.

The chat concludes with a look at the future of competitive trade economics in the context of digital goods.
