A recent survey by the World Economic Forum shows that business leaders in G20 countries are getting more and more anxious about a possible recession, widening inequality, and the spread of misinformation. What's interesting is that worries about AI and misinformation are now among the top five short-term risks for the first time; they come in at number five.
The biggest worry is still an economic downturn, followed by problems with public services, a lack of jobs, and inflation. Social issues are becoming a bigger deal, with leaders stressing how things like poor pensions, healthcare, and social safety nets affect how stable the workforce is.
According to experts, the quick progress of AI makes cyber threats and misinformation worse, which is why businesses are paying attention to these things. Even though extreme weather isn't as high on the list this year, companies should still keep environmental and social goals in mind to stay strong in the long run.
