These conversations aren't always easy,
00:00:02
but nonetheless, they are important. So,
00:00:04
every single year, Professor Ian Bremer,
00:00:07
who's one of the world's leading
00:00:08
political scientists, produces this risk
00:00:11
report, and it highlights the top 10
00:00:14
biggest risks that everybody should be
00:00:15
thinking about. And today, he's going to
00:00:18
talk to me about the three that matter
00:00:20
the most. So, he predicts that a US
00:00:22
political revolution is on its way. the
00:00:25
US has become the biggest driver of
00:00:28
geopolitical uncertainty in the world
00:00:31
and in my view Trump will fail.
00:00:33
>> And he also says that the other thing
00:00:35
everybody needs to be talking about and
00:00:37
aware of is what's really playing out
00:00:39
with AI behind the scenes.
00:00:40
>> They created a model which is so
00:00:42
powerful that they couldn't release it
00:00:45
because it would have been an immediate
00:00:47
systemic risk to the global economy and
00:00:49
our security and artificial intelligence
00:00:52
is eating its users. And we can talk
00:00:55
about that.
00:00:56
>> And lastly, I want to end on a point of
00:00:58
optimism.
