At Davos 2026, the New A.I. Race Is About Execution
Dr. Kathryn Wifvat, a leading applied A.I. strategist advising governments, enterprises and sovereign investors, and Mark Minevich, a globally recognized Chief A.I. Officer and World Economic Forum contributor, analyze how Davos 2026 marked a turning point in the global A.I. conversation. They argue that A.I. has entered its infrastructure phase, where competitive advantage depends on execution, governance, workforce transformation and technological sovereignty. The new A.I. race, they explain, will be decided by those who can operationalize intelligence at scale under mounting geopolitical and societal constraints.
