 Now we're going to talk about us, tech for good, good for tech, technology and human or human and technology. So Carlos will take us in this field. Carlos. Thank you François. It's a pleasure for me to be again in this prestigious forum. I was in Marrakech and although I am 100% a technology person, the geopolitics of technology is going to be disruptive. And this is actually something that needs to be understood how technology can inspire from geopolitics and how geopolitics can inspire from technology. In 20 years time, we will have forgotten totally the COVID virus. In 20 years time, the only thing we will have to learn that in 2021, we enter into a digital society where human has lost the control of their digital identity. And that has an amazing profound consequences. I was in the UN when the World Wide Web was developed in Geneva. I was at that time working on what was the first node ever developed by the World Wide Web. Basically what Bitcoin is now, they are connecting nodes. So we were the zero node. And I was very young and very excited to see that for the first time, content and knowledge will be distributed globally. So people will have not the need anymore to go to centralized databases. But at that time already, and this is 34 years ago, we discovered something that inside the architecture of the World Wide Web, the human does not exist. The web doesn't know where the human is. The web doesn't make any difference between a human, a dog, a tree, a computer. So at that time, nobody realized that there was consequences for that. But now those consequences are detrimental to humanity. And the reason is very, very, very simple. I wrote a book actually, which is a bestseller in the United States with a transhuman code that has transhuman because that's what we are becoming. Transhuman, we're going to be enhanced. But there is a code, which is all humanity. Humans cannot be replaced and should not be replaced, but that needs an action. We cannot just stay idle and see the fourth industrial revolution expanding without putting some breaks. We need an acceleration, but we also need break. And what is the break? Everybody talks about acceleration. Acceleration is a $10 trillion economy, Facebook, Apple, Google, Amazon. These guys were zero value a few years ago. And now they are sitting in a monopolistic situation of $10 trillion economy and expanding 40, 50% per year. What is their product? What do they sell? They sell hosts. And why? Because they don't treat hosts as humans. They treat hosts as consumers. So we are consumers for them. And consumers don't have feeling consumers don't care whether you have family or not. Consumers are something that you dispose the moment that consumers stop to consume. So this enormous platform that has been created is actually growing exponentially. Humans are linear. So for me to go from there to there, I have to go step by step. I cannot just jump and go to the next pilot. Technology exponential 12, 24, 64, 128. This exponentiality is accelerating by the fact that for first time, technologies are converging. We are similar to where we're at the Renaissance, where you have different geometry, architecture, philosophy where converging. Now we are in that process of convergence. The blockchain is converging. Artificial intelligence is converging. IoT is connecting one trillion devices now per year and expanding to something like 30 trillion devices. Everything will connect, but will connect to where? Where are the things that are connecting? And what is the role of the human into that interconnection? Actually, they are connecting to the metaverse. So maybe this is the first sign you hear that word, the metaverse. So the metaverse is going to be like the web in your kid's ears every day because they live already in the metaverse. Not only people don't live yet on the metaverse, it's ourselves due to our age and maybe the fact that we don't even know what it is. So the metaverse is the destination where all those NFTs, non-fugible tokens, are actually going towards. The metaverse is that virtual space where our kids playing games are spending many hours a day and where we think that actually they are losing their time. But when they talk to us back, they say, actually, Dad, you don't understand what is going on. What I'm doing is actually living in a next generation evolution of the internet. The metaverse is internet 3.0. In that metaverse of 3.0, everything connects. And if you are not in the metaverse, you don't exist. Actually, companies are now creating themselves for the metaverse. Zero staff, no CO, no CFO, no CTO. The metaverse is their living space. So in that metaverse, where is the role of the human? How can human be on that metaverse maintaining an evolutionary control that we managed to control during their last 200,000 years? The only way is we redesign and re-architect the machine. But what is the problem? The problem is that because the product is the consumer and this $10 trillion economy is actually growing exponentially due to consumer behavior and because the consumer are giving them data that they can sell it, there is nothing else. There is no alternative. There is no Plan B. It's only a Plan A. And because those countries that they are hosting those companies have a zero interest to make it different because they will destroy their digital economy. And I mentioned the United States and China now to that point. The only place on earth that you can create a Plan B is Europe. And the reason is because we were late, and actually being late on that has been an advantage. Why? Because we did not get addicted to that business model which is to data mine and monetize consumers. And as our companies do not have that business model because otherwise it would have been acquired by Americans or Chinese there is a possibility to build an architecture or where the humans are the center of gravity. And where sharing humanity between ourselves becomes the motto. It means that you will not develop technology that will go against humans. You will not develop microchips and encryption that will be detrimental to humans. You will protect human jobs, not necessarily by protecting jobs that machines can do better but just by benefiting from the fourth industrial revolution diversification. You have already success stories. Some of them were mentioned GDPR. It is a success story. It blocks the possibility of American companies coming and taking your database and bringing it to their servers. It has also EIDAS, digital identification which is essential to protect the human because if you don't have a digital identity, you don't exist. Actually you might have a consumer identity but you don't have a digital identity. If you do not have a digital identity and a digital identity is not your credit card or your passport or your fitness card it is actually your birth certificate. As you have a birth certificate from the city you burned one day you have also a digital birth certificate the moment you enter into the internet and that belongs to you and it stays under your consent while you need it. If one day you decide to retire or you decide not to be bothered anymore with this digital life you should have the possibility to revoke that digital identity and that is back to your control. This morning everybody was talking about cold war. Actually we are not anymore in a cold war. We are in an invisible world. The invisible war between countries and they want to control the metaverse. Imagine the metaverse is like a massive cloud. If you don't have your country in that cloud if that cloud doesn't have a space for your country you are colonised by others. You don't exist. So the fourth industrial revolution was a constant launch in Davos in the 2016 by the World Economic Forum Cloud Schwab. I was part of that work that was done at that time. We had been working a lot to try to create the awareness required for countries to take the right decision towards having their own presence on that metaverse and this is something which I think this forum can help internationally to create this kind of diversification which is essential to protect humans as we move forward in the fourth industrial revolution. Thank you. Thank you Carlos for this very inspiring so human as the future. I hope for our kids. I was very interested also by the metaverse it looks like the neuronal topology of the brain. There is no boss but if you don't part the system you are out. Exactly. Absolutely.
