The World Economic Forum (WEF) is taking Davos-level discussions into the digital realm with its new Global Collaboration Village – a VR-powered space where users worldwide can tackle climate change, AI ethics, and economic policies through immersive avatars. Think of it as a mix between a UN summit and a Ready Player One-style metaverse, but with fewer dragons and more diplomacy. 🕶️
CGTN’s Wang Tianyu tested the platform, calling it a 'game-changer for inclusive dialogue.' Participants can virtually 'walk' through 3D models of melting glaciers or debate trade policies with AI-generated data visuals. Perfect for students, CEOs, or anyone tired of Zoom fatigue!
🌟 Why it matters: This isn’t just flashy tech – the WEF claims these tools could help bridge gaps between Global North and South. Can pixelated handshakes lead to real-world solutions? We’re logging in to find out.
