Klaus Schwab Declares The ‘New Dawn’ Of Transitioning ‘Humankind Into A New Era,’ By Merging Man With Machine

Following that Schwab added, “With this new intelligent age, technology is not merely a tool or an extension of human capabilities; it is a partner in shaping the world where every individual has the opportunity to reach their full potential.”

When he was pressed to explain the transition into this new world, Schwab said “we put now too much emphasis on preserving on what we have.” Instead, the WEF founder believes that more emphasis and spending needs to be dedicated to building the infrastructure and education for this new dawn…
