🌎 From Davos to TikTok: AI's Big Week & Tech's Most Interesting Trends

Hey there, Explorers!

Guess what stole the show at this year's World Economic Forum meeting in Davos? Yep, you guessed it – AI. 🌎

Last week, a 'who's who' of the global elite - world leaders, tech wizards, and big thinkers - all huddled together, deep-diving into the big stuff: economics, politics, social issues, you name it.

And AI? It was the star of the show, sparking chats about its mind-blowing - and sometimes scary - possibilities and the smart moves we need to manage it on a global scale.

Anyway, besides being glued to what this brain trust was talking about for a week, we totally spent too much time on Tech TikTok. Sorry, not sorry… More on that 👇
