World Computer Day Davos
Exploring the Future of AI, Technology, and Society
A day dedicated to exploring how AI and emerging technologies are transforming business, government, and everyday life - and how smart policies can guide responsible, meaningful adoption.
The World Computer Vision
The World Computer refers to a vision of a global, decentralized network designed to host software and data in a secure and tamper-resistant way. Unlike traditional IT infrastructure, it reduces reliance on central control, limits single points of failure, and offers stronger resilience against cyber threats.
By simplifying how applications and services are built and maintained, the World Computer opens new possibilities for more sovereign, dependable digital systems.
