Last year’s Global Risks Report warned of a world
that would not easily rebound from continued
shocks. As 2024 begins, the 19th edition of
the report is set against a backdrop of rapidly
accelerating technological change and economic
uncertainty, as the world is plagued by a duo of
dangerous crises: climate and conflict.
Underlying geopolitical tensions combined with the
eruption of active hostilities in multiple regions is
contributing to an unstable global order characterized
by polarizing narratives, eroding trust and insecurity.
At the same time, countries are grappling with the
impacts of record-breaking extreme weather, as
climate-change adaptation efforts and resources
fall short of the type, scale and intensity of climaterelated events already taking place. Cost-of-living
pressures continue to bite, amidst persistently
elevated inflation and interest rates and continued
economic uncertainty in much of the world.
Despondent headlines are borderless, shared
regularly and widely, and a sense of frustration at
the status quo is increasingly palpable. Together,
this leaves ample room for accelerating risks – like
misinformation and disinformation – to propagate
in societies that have already been politically and
economically weakened in recent years.
Just as natural ecosystems can be pushed to the
limit and become something fundamentally new;
such systemic shifts are also taking place across
other spheres: geostrategic, demographic and
technological. This year, we explore the rise of global
risks against the backdrop of these “structural
forces” as well as the tectonic clashes between
them. The next set of global conditions may not
necessarily be better or worse than the last, but the
transition will not be an easy one.
The report explores the global risk landscape in this
phase of transition and governance systems being
stretched beyond their limit. It analyses the most
severe perceived risks to economies and societies
over two and 10 years, in the context of these
influential forces. Could we catapult to a 3°C world
as the impacts of climate change intrinsically rewrite
the planet? Have we reached the peak of human
development for large parts of the global population,
given deteriorating debt and geo-economic
conditions? Could we face an explosion of criminality
and corruption that feeds on more fragile states and
more vulnerable populations? Will an “arms race” in
experimental technologies present existential threats
to humanity?
These transnational risks will become harder to
handle as global cooperation erodes. In this year’s
Global Risks Perception Survey, two-thirds of
respondents predict that a multipolar order will
dominate in the next 10 years, as middle and
great powers set and enforce – but also contest
- current rules and norms. The report considers
the implications of this fragmented world, where
preparedness for global risks is ever more critical but
is hindered by lack o
KOSMOS-1 is a multimodal large language model that can perceive and process language as well as visual inputs like images. It was trained on large web-scale datasets containing text, images, and image-caption pairs to align its vision capabilities with its natural language understanding. Experimental results showed that KOSMOS-1 can perform well on tasks involving language, vision, and their combination, including image captioning, visual question answering, and describing images based on text instructions, all without any fine-tuning. The ability to perceive and understand different modalities allows language models to acquire knowledge in new ways and expands their application to areas like robotics and document intelligence.
We present a causal speech enhancement model working on the
raw waveform that runs in real-time on a laptop CPU. The proposed model is based on an encoder-decoder architecture with
skip-connections. It is optimized on both time and frequency
domains, using multiple loss functions. Empirical evidence
shows that it is capable of removing various kinds of background noise including stationary and non-stationary noises,
as well as room reverb. Additionally, we suggest a set of
data augmentation techniques applied directly on the raw waveform which further improve model performance and its generalization abilities. We perform evaluations on several standard
benchmarks, both using objective metrics and human judgements. The proposed model matches state-of-the-art performance of both causal and non causal methods while working
directly on the raw waveform.
Index Terms: Speech enhancement, speech denoising, neural
networks, raw waveform

Artificial neural networks are the heart of machine learning algorithms and artificial intelligence
protocols. Historically, the simplest implementation of an artificial neuron traces back to the classical
Rosenblatt’s “perceptron”, but its long term practical applications may be hindered by the fast scal-
ing up of computational complexity, especially relevant for the training of multilayered perceptron
networks. Here we introduce a quantum information-based algorithm implementing the quantum
computer version of a perceptron, which shows exponential advantage in encoding resources over
alternative realizations. We experimentally test a few qubits version of this model on an actual
small-scale quantum processor, which gives remarkably good answers against the expected results.
We show that this quantum model of a perceptron can be used as an elementary nonlinear classifier
of simple patterns, as a first step towards practical training of artificial quantum neural networks
to be efficiently implemented on near-term quantum processing hardware

Artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities are growing at an unprecedented rate. These technologies have many widely beneficial applications, ranging from machine translation to medical image analysis. Countless more such applications are being developed and can be expected over the long term. Less attention has historically been paid to the ways in which artificial intelligence can be used maliciously. This report surveys the landscape of potential security threats from malicious uses of artificial intelligence technologies, and proposes ways to better forecast, prevent, and mitigate these threats. We analyze, but do not conclusively resolve, the question of what the long-term equilibrium between attackers and defenders will be. We focus instead on what sorts of attacks we are likely to see soon if adequate defenses are not developed.
There is an increasing interest in exploiting mobile sensing technologies and machine learning techniques for mental health monitoring and intervention. Researchers have effectively used contextual information, such as mobility, communication and mobile phone usage patterns for quantifying individuals’ mood and wellbeing. In this paper, we investigate the effectiveness of neural network models for predicting users’ level of stress by using the location information collected by smartphones. We characterize the mobility patterns of individuals using the GPS metricspresentedintheliteratureandemploythesemetricsasinputtothenetwork. We evaluate our approach on the open-source StudentLife dataset. Moreover, we discuss the challenges and trade-offs involved in building machine learning models for digital mental health and highlight potential future work in this direction.

To thrive in the 21st century, students need more than traditional academic learning. They must be adept at collaboration, communication and problem-solving, which are some of the skills developed through social and emotional learning (SEL). Coupled with mastery of traditional skills, social and emotional proficiency will equip students to succeed in the swiftly evolving digital economy. In 2015, the World Economic Forum published a report that focused on the pressing issue of the 21st-century skills gap and ways to address it through technology (New Vision for Education: Unlocking the Potential of Technology). In that report, we defined a set of 16 crucial proficiencies for education in the 21st century. Those skills include six “foundational literacies”, such as literacy, numeracy and scientific literacy, and 10 skills that we labelled either “competencies” or “character qualities”. Competencies are the means by which students approach complex challenges; they include collaboration, communication and critical thinking and problem-solving. Character qualities are the ways in which students approach their changing environment; they include curiosity, adaptability and social and cultural awareness (see Exhibit 1).
In our current report, New Vision for Education: Fostering Social and Emotional Learning through Technology, we follow up on our 2015 report by exploring how these competencies and character qualities do more than simply deepen 21st-century skills. Together, they lie at the heart of SEL and are every bit as important as the foundational skills required for traditional academic learning. Although many stakeholders have defined SEL more narrowly, we believe the definition of SEL is evolving. We define SEL broadly to encompass the 10 competencies and character qualities.1 As is the case with traditional academic learning, technology can be invaluable at enabling SEL.
La expresión “futuro del trabajo” es actualmente uno de los conceptos más populares en las búsquedas en Google. Los numerosos avances tecnológicos de los últimos tiempos están modificando rápidamente la frontera entre las actividades realizadas por los seres humanos y las ejecutadas por las máquinas, lo cual está transformando el mundo del trabajo. Existe un creciente número de estudios e iniciativas que se están llevando a cabo con el objeto de analizar qué significan estos cambios en nuestro trabajo, en nuestros ingresos, en el futuro de nuestros hijos, en nuestras empresas y en nuestros gobiernos. Estos análisis se conducen principalmente desde la óptica de las economías avanzadas, y mucho menos desde la perspectiva de las economías en desarrollo y emergentes. Sin embargo, las diferencias en materia de difusión tecnológica, de estructuras económicas y demográficas, de niveles de educación y patrones
migratorios inciden de manera significativa en la manera en que estos cambios pueden afectar a los países en desarrollo y emergentes. Este estudio, El futuro del trabajo: perspectivas regionales, se centra en las repercusiones probables de estas tendencias en las economías en desarrollo y emergentes de África; Asia; Europa del Este, Asia Central y el Mediterráneo Sur y Oriental, y América Latina y el Caribe. Se trata de un esfuerzo mancomunado de los cuatro principales bancos regionales de desarrollo: el African Development Bank Group, el Asian Development Bank, el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo y el European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. En el estudio se destacan las oportunidades que los cambios en la dinámica del trabajo podrían crear en nuestras regiones. El progreso tecnológico permitiría a los países con los que trabajamos crecer y alcanzar rápidamente mejores niveles de vida que en el pasado
El documento resume el ascenso de China como potencia mundial y cómo esto está cuestionando el orden internacional liderado por Estados Unidos. Explica que tras la Guerra Fría hubo un período de optimismo sobre la expansión de la democracia y la globalización, pero que ahora Estados Unidos se está retirando de su liderazgo global mientras China se fortalece económica y militarmente. Predice que Asia será el epicentro de los cambios geopolíticos a medida que China busque aumentar su influencia en la región.
The increasing use of electronic forms of communication presents
new opportunities in the study of mental health, including the
ability to investigate the manifestations of psychiatric diseases un-
obtrusively and in the setting of patients’ daily lives. A pilot study to
explore the possible connections between bipolar affective disorder
and mobile phone usage was conducted. In this study, participants
were provided a mobile phone to use as their primary phone. This
phone was loaded with a custom keyboard that collected metadata
consisting of keypress entry time and accelerometer movement.
Individual character data with the exceptions of the backspace key
and space bar were not collected due to privacy concerns. We pro-
pose an end-to-end deep architecture based on late fusion, named
DeepMood, to model the multi-view metadata for the prediction
of mood scores. Experimental results show that 90.31% prediction
accuracy on the depression score can be achieved based on session-
level mobile phone typing dynamics which is typically less than
one minute. It demonstrates the feasibility of using mobile phone
metadata to infer mood disturbance and severity
Defin
ing artificial intelligence is no easy matter. Since the mid
-
20th century when it
was first
recognized
as a specific field of research, AI has always been envisioned as
an evolving boundary, rather than a settled research field. Fundamentally, it refers
to
a programme whose ambitious objective is to understand and reproduce human
cognition; creating cognitive processes comparable to those found in human beings.
Therefore, we are naturally dealing with a wide scope here, both in terms of the
technical proced
ures that can be employed and the various disciplines that can be
called upon: mathematics, information technology, cognitive sciences, etc. There is
a great variety of approaches when it comes to AI: ontological, reinforcement
learning, adversarial learni
ng and neural networks, to name just a few. Most of them
have been known for decades and many of the algorithms used today were
developed in the ’60s and ’70s.
Since the 1956 Dartmouth conference, artificial intelligence has alternated between
periods of
great enthusiasm and disillusionment, impressive progress and frustrating
failures. Yet, it has relentlessly pushed back the limits of what was only thought to
be achievable by human beings. Along the way, AI research has achieved significant
successes: o
utperforming human beings in complex games (chess, Go),
understanding natural language, etc. It has also played a critical role in the history
of mathematics and information technology. Consider how many softwares that we
now take for granted once represen
ted a major breakthrough in AI: chess game
apps, online translation programmes, etc
Researchers surveyed 352 AI experts about their predictions for advances in artificial intelligence. The key findings were:
- Researchers predicted that AI will outperform humans in many tasks within the next 10 years, such as translating languages by 2024 and driving a truck by 2027.
- The experts estimated a 50% chance of AI outperforming humans in all tasks within 45 years and automating all human jobs within 120 years. Asian respondents expected these dates to occur much sooner than North American respondents.
- The researchers believed that progress in machine learning has accelerated in recent years. They saw the possibility of an "intelligence explosion" after high-level machine intelligence is achieved but estimated the probability as low, around 10

Seven Facts on Noncognitive Skills
from Education to the Labor Market
Introduction
Cognitive skills—that is, math and reading skills that are measured by standardized tests—are generally
understood to be of critical importance in the labor market. Most people find it intuitive and indeed
unsurprising that cognitive skills, as measured by standardized tests, are important for students’ later-life
outcomes. For example, earnings tend to be higher for those with higher levels of cognitive skills. What is
less well understood—and is the focus of these economic facts—is that noncognitive skills are also integral to
educational performance and labor-market outcomes.
Due in large part to research pioneered in economics by Nobel laureate James J. Heckman, there is a robust and
growing body of evidence that noncognitive skills function similarly to cognitive skills, strongly improving
labor-market outcomes. These noncognitive skills—often referred to in the economics literature as soft skills and
elsewhere as social, emotional, and behavioral skills—include qualities like perseverance, conscientiousness,
and self-control, as well as social skills and leadership ability (Duckworth and Yeager 2015). The value of these
qualities in the labor market has increased over time as the mix of jobs has shifted toward positions requiring
noncognitive skills. Evidence suggests that the labor-market payoffs to noncognitive skills have been increasing
over time and the payoffs are particularly strong for individuals who possess both cognitive and noncognitive
skills (Deming 2015; Weinberger 2014).
Although we draw a conceptual distinction between noncognitive skills and cognitive skills, it is not possible to
disentangle these concepts fully. All noncognitive skills involve cognition, and some portion of performance on
cognitive tasks is made possible by noncognitive skills. For the purposes of this document, the term “cognitive
skills” encompasses intelligence; the ability to process, learn, think, and reason; and substantive knowledge
as reflected in indicators of academic achievement. Since the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, education
policy has focused on accountability policies aimed at improving cognitive skills and closing test score gaps
across groups. These policies have been largely successful, particularly for math achievement (Dee and Jacob
2011; Wong, Cook, and Steiner 2009) and among students most exposed to accountability pressure (Neal and
Schanzenbach 2010). What has received less attention in policy debates is the importance of noncognitive skills.

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Key Takeaways
The Cloud Services Market Will Grow Rapidly
Through 2020
Cloud is now a top enterprise strategic priority,
and more workloads are shifting to cloud
platforms every year. The expansion of the global
cloud market puts pressure on every enterprise to
reexamine its use of cloud relative to peers and
competitors.
Enterprises Are Expanding Their Adoption Of
Cloud Computing In All Its Forms
Software-as-a-service (SaaS) is the most widely
adopted cloud computing model, with the
majority of enterprises using at least one such
application. From 2014 to 2016, enterprises have
continued to grow their use of infrastructure-as-a-
service in all its forms: public, private, and hosted
private cloud environments.
Cloud Usage Monitoring, Standardization, And
Automation Are Maturing
Most organizations now track and monitor their
cloud usage and spending. Initiatives around
standardizing best practices, optimizing workload
configurations, and creating formal cloud policies
are increasing but still in development. Delivering
in-house services via a cloud model (self-service,
fully standardized, and automated) is also lagging.
Why Read This Report
Enterprise cloud computing adoption accelerated
in 2016 and will do so again in 2017. Are you
ahead of your competitors or lagging behind the
average enterprise? Infrastructure and operations
(I&O) leaders must answer this question to
chart their companies’ cloud futures. This
report gathers important adoption metrics for
public, private, and hybrid cloud and explores
enterprise cloud priorities and policies to help you
benchmark your progress against the broader
market. Use these benchmarks to inform your
cloud strategic plan.
