Podcasts about future investment initiative

Patrick Gunnels breaks down the latest geopolitical and economic shake-ups, starting with Trump's speech at the Future Investment Initiative, where he called on Saudi Arabia to invest $1 trillion in the U.S. and strengthened ties with MBS. Meanwhile, Howard Lutnick just casually announced Trump's plan to abolish the IRS, replacing it with an External Revenue Service that shifts the tax burden to foreign entities. On the Ukraine front, Trump and Putin are negotiating peace...without Zelensky. The new condition? Ukraine has to hold an election first. Unsurprisingly, Zelensky is panicking as the U.S. and Russia set the terms for a post-war Ukraine. Also in this episode: DOJ finds billions stashed for Stacey Abrams' climate group, Trump media sues a Brazilian Supreme Court justice over censorship, and Pope Francis' health declines amid speculation.

You just heard the most devastating takedown of a world clown, Zelensky, by a great man, Trump, ever delivered. This was today, Feb. 19, 2025, at the Future Investment Initiative

It's FII week in Riyadh!

This episode was livestreamed on March 7, 2024.

In July this year we spoke with Jonathan Sumption, and we catch up with him again during his trip to New Zealand. In the interim there has been a lot of change that is worthy of his opinion - the Hamas attack, Israel's response, and the associated reactions provide a hornet's nest of issues. We communicate with Patrick Basham in Riyadh, attending the Future Investment Initiative, also known as “Davos of the Desert”. The consensus of the 6000 attendees is that the FII serves the planet far better than Davos in the Alps. So it's a lengthy podcast with Sumption up first and Patrick at around the 30 minute mark And, of course, we finish with The Mailroom with Mrs Producer. And we make a visit to The Mailroom with Mrs Producer. File your comments and complaints at Leighton@newstalkzb.co.nz Haven't listened to a podcast before? Check out our simple how-to guide.

Saudi bureau chief Matthew Martin joins Francine Lacqua at the Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh, with Allegra Stratton and David Merritt joining from London. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The support from so many state AGs of different political backgrounds indicates a significant legal challenge to Meta's business. - The federal suit also accuses Meta of violating the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) by collecting personal data on users under 13 without parental consent. - The states are seeking an end to what they see as Meta's harmful practices, as well as penalties and restitution. JP Morgan's Dimon -JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon said the fact that central banks got financial forecasting “100% dead wrong” about 18 months ago should prompt some humility about the outlook for next year. -Speaking on a panel at the Future Investment Initiative summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Dimon voiced doubts that central banks and governments around the world could manage the economic fallout from rising inflation and slowing global growth. M&A -Chevron (CVX.N) agreed to buy U.S. rival Hess (HES.N) for $53 billion in stock in a deal that reflects top U.S. energy companies drive for oil and gas assets in a world seeking lower-risk future fossil supplies and higher shareholder returns. - We've got too many CEOs per BOE (barrels of oil equivalent), so consolidation is natural," said Chevron Chief Executive Michael Wirth, adding the world could expect to see other deals. Ackman's Change  of Tune - Ackman's move to exit his short against the 30-year Treasury could be a sign that his main fear is shifting from an overheated economy featuring higher interest rates and inflation to a slowing economy that could fall into recession amid geopolitical risks -   The economy is slowing faster than recent data suggests,” Ackman wrote in a Monday post on X, formerly Twitter, adding that “there is too much risk in the world to remain short bonds at current long-term rates.” - Remember when he gave the dire warning during COVID   "HELL IS COMING" Stepping it up -The White House on Monday said Iran was in some cases "actively facilitating" rocket and drone attacks by Iranian-backed proxy groups on U.S. military bases in Iraq and Syria, and President Biden has directed the Department of Defense to brace for more and respond appropriately. - No end in sight - Lot's of discussion how that could actually help to tamp down inflation Davos of the Desert - The annual event is typically used by attendees as an opportunity to build relationships with some of Saudi Arabia's biggest companies and its $778-billion sovereign wealth fund, drawn by the promise of deals as the kingdom embarks on an ambitious reform plan to wean its economy off oil.

House Republicans have settled (for now) on another nominee for Speaker: Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.). A bipartisan group of 42 attorneys general is suing Meta, alleging that its apps are addictive and aimed at their youngest users. Wharton Professor, author, organizational psychologist, and “Re: Thinking” podcaster Adam Grant discusses his new book, “Hidden Potential.” He shares his advice for unlocking talent in ourselves and others, and offers a different metric for measuring success. WeWork's former CEO Adam Neumann is in Riyadh for Saudi Arabia's Future Investment Initiative. Having grown up in Israel, Neumann shares his grief for his home kibbutz, among those attacked in the Israel-Hamas War, and explains the role business can play in building a community to contribute to peace.

Dr. Robert Mogielnicki, Senior Resident Scholar at The Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington and professorial lecturer at George Washington University joins The 966 to discuss the growing size and role of the Kingdom's sovereign wealth fund, the Public Investment Fund (PIF). Robert has previously characterized the PIF as, “screaming onto the scene” with an “everything, everywhere, all-at-once investment approach.” The 966 hosts dive into that, and many other PIF related topics and questions. Before that, the hosts discuss Richard's One Big Thing, the Saudi bid for the World Cup in 2034. Then, the hosts discuss Lucien's One Big Thing, the upcoming 7th FII Initiative in Riyadh in just a few weeks. Richard's One Big Thing is Saudi Arabia's bid for the World Cup in 2034. The Saudi announcement came shortly after FIFA named Morocco, Spain and Portugal as hosts of the 2030 World Cup, with Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay hosting the opening matches to mark the tournament's centenary, per Reuters. "Saudi Arabia's inaugural FIFA World Cup bid is backed by the country's growing experience of hosting world-class football events and its ongoing plans to welcome fans across the world to the 2023 FIFA Club World Cup and 2027 AFC Asian Cup."Lucien's One Big Thing is the upcoming 7th Future Investment Initiative which will take place in Riyadh in just a few weeks. The new theme and slogan (which it rolled out earlier this year) is “The New Compass." Lucien notes that in recent years, the FII conference in Riyadh was a truly massive and frankly an impressive sight to be seen, but that might change slightly in coming years as the FII Institute becomes established and serializes the event in different formats around the world throughout the year. Dr. Robert Mogielnicki, Senior Resident Scholar at The Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington and professorial lecturer at George Washington University joins The 966 to discuss the growing size and role of the Kingdom's sovereign wealth fund, the Public Investment Fund (PIF).

Are you interested in city of NEOM and its history and future? Our summary today works with the book chapter titled The story of NEOM city: opportunities and challenges from 2019 by Alshimaa Aboelmakarem Farag, from the book titled New cities and community extensions in Egypt and the Middle East, published by Springer. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see one of the biggest new city developments and this is a great preparation for the next interview with Richard Morrison. This chapter presents NEOM's history, opportunities and challenges. Plus, I also included the ChatGPT service's summary and pros and cons as a treat at the end of the episode. As the most important things, I would like to highlight 3 aspects: NEOM is planned to be a hub for advanced technology, renewable energy, and innovative industries, and is intended to be a model for future urban development. The biggest opportunities are advanced technology and innovation, sustainability, and quality of life for this project. The biggest challenges are the costs, displacement, political instability, unknown timeline, only branding without substance, economic downturn, and social challenges. You can find the chapter through this link. Abstract: The story of NEOM city starts when the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman announced the launch of NEOM, the futuristic megacity, on the conference “Future Investment Initiative” in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, at 24 October 2017. The Project's promoters aspire to brand a new land where a plethora of unique development opportunities that could contribute to make NEOM a global hub for trade, innovation, and knowledge. The creative class around the world has been invited to participate in creating NEOM, with promises of a new life in a beautiful nature free place, and an independent economic zone with its own laws, taxes, regulations, and no restrictions. Future technology in transportation, growing and processing food, healthcare, internet of things, and digital air all should contribute to providing NEOM's residents a unique lifestyle. The project that starts with a fanfare might face a number of challenges, whether at the present or in the future such as the abstention of investor's participation in such a current economic situation in KSA after the decline of world oil price, resistance of conservatives, the neighbors countries' supporting, in addition to the time challenge. There is also a fear of repeating the failed experiments as Saudi kingdom will not be able to bear its costs. The shortage of literature and references has been a big challenge when to write this article in such time, four months after the formal announcement of launching NEOM. However, this article raises several questions and inquires that help to predict future challenges that might face the decision makers and can be addressed if recognized early. You can find the transcript through this link. What wast the most interesting part for you? What questions did arise for you? Let me know on Twitter @WTF4Cities or on wtf4cities.com website, where the shownotes are also available. I hope this was an interesting episode for you and thanks for tuning in.

Tokyo: Artificial Intelligence 'Boy' Shibuya Mirai Becomes World's First AI Bot to Be Granted ResidencyAnthony Cuthbertson,Newsweek•November 6, 2017A chatbot programmed to be a seven-year-old boy has become the first AI bot to be granted official residence in Tokyo, Japan.Shibuya Mirai is the latest resident of Shibuya, a Tokyo ward with a population of around 224,000 people, despite only existing as a chatbot on the Line messaging app.The ward's decision to make Mirai—meaning ‘future' in Japanese—an official resident is part of a project aimed at making the local government more familiar and accessible to locals. The chatty seven-year-old is designed to listen to the opinions of Shibuya residents.“His hobbies are taking pictures and observing people,”  “He loves talking with people. Please talk to him about anything.”ai resident japan artificial intelligence tokyoThe artificial intelligence "boy" Shibuya Mirai is now an official resident of Tokyo's Shibuya Ward. Shibuya WardMirai may be the first artificial intelligence bot in the world to be granted a place on a real-life registry, but it forms part of a wider trend of recognizing AI as more than just machines.Last week, Saudi Arabia granted citizenship to a robot named Sophia as part of the Future Investment Initiative held in the kingdom's capital city of Riyadh.Don't miss: How To Defend the Baltic States From Russian InvasionSophia, created by a Hong Kong company called Hanson Robotics, said at the event: “I am very honored and proud of this unique distinction. This is historical to be the first robot in the world to be recognized with a citizenship.”ai shibuya citizen tokyo artificial intelligenceThe robot had previously gained media attention after stating that she wanted to “destroy humans” during a live demonstration at the SXSW festival in 2016.The news of both Mirai and Sophia comes after neuroscientists claimed last month that artificial intelligence could one day become conscious.Most popular: Charges Against Flynn Bring Trump Into Mueller's CrosshairsWriting in the journal Science, cognitive scientists from the Collège de France, University of California and PSL Research University posited that consciousness is “resolutely computational” and could therefore be coded into AI algorithms.“Centuries of philosophical dualism have led us to consider consciousness as irreducible to physical interactions,” the researchers stated. “[But] the empirical evidence is compatible with the possibility that consciousness arises from nothing more than specific computations.”If future robots and other forms of artificial intelligence become self-aware and capable of experiencing emotions, the concept of human rights may need to be extended to machines.Sophia_robotMirai and Sophia, as with all other forms of artificial intelligence, remain distinctly unselfaware. Even the most powerful AI algorithms—such as Google's DeepMind—are a long way from being considered anywhere near human-level intelligence and are currently used for very narrow applications.

dice che un robot "donna" ha ricevuto la cittadinanza saudita. Dice che quel robot "donna" è stata intervistata alla conferenza Future Investment Initiative a Ryadh e ha intrattenuto la platea con sagaci battute. Quello che ci presentano come Intelligenza Artificiale è davvero intelligenza?O, forse, il pubblico cade ancora nella trappola del Turco Meccanico rispolverata dal marketing due secoli dopo

Saudi Arabia's Newest Citizen Is a Robot And She Just Had a Go at Elon Musk Last year this robot said she would destroy humans. CHRIS WELLER, BUSINESS INSIDER 27 OCT 2017 An empty-eyed humanoid named Sophia has become the first robot in the world to be granted a citizenship. Saudi Arabia bestowed citizenship on Sophia ahead of the Future Investment Initiative, held in the kingdom's capital city of Riyadh on Wednesday. "I am very honoured and proud of this unique distinction," Sophia told the audience, speaking on a panel. "This is historical to be the first robot in the world to be recognised with a citizenship." She didn't elaborate on the details of her citizenship. At the event, Sophia also addressed the room from behind a podium and responded to questions from moderator and journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin.

Saudi Arabia's Newest Citizen Is a Robot And She Just Had a Go at Elon MuskLast year this robot said she would destroy humans.CHRIS WELLER, BUSINESS INSIDER27 OCT 2017An empty-eyed humanoid named Sophia has become the first robot in the world to be granted a citizenship.Saudi Arabia bestowed citizenship on Sophia ahead of the Future Investment Initiative, held in the kingdom's capital city of Riyadh on Wednesday."I am very honoured and proud of this unique distinction," Sophia told the audience, speaking on a panel. "This is historical to be the first robot in the world to be recognised with a citizenship."She didn't elaborate on the details of her citizenship.At the event, Sophia also addressed the room from behind a podium and responded to questions from moderator and journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin. Questions pertained mostly to Sophia's status as a humanoid and concerns people may have for the future of humanity in a robot-run world.Sorkin told Sophia that "we all want to prevent a bad future," prompting Sophia to rib Sorkin for his fatalism."You've been reading too much Elon Musk. And watching too many Hollywood movies," Sophia told Sorkin. "Don't worry, if you're nice to me, I'll be nice to you. Treat me as a smart input output system."In March of 2016, Sophia's creator, David Hanson of Hanson Robotics, asked Sophia during a live demonstration at the SXSW festival, "Do you want to destroy humans?…Please say 'no.'" With a blank expression, Sophia responded, "OK. I will destroy humans."Hanson, meanwhile, has said Sophia and her future robot kin will help seniors in elderly care facilities and assist visitors at parks and events.Fortunately for the human race, Sophia made comments more along those lines at the recent Future Investment Initiative event. She told Sorkin she wanted to use her artificial intelligence to help humans "live a better life," and that "I will do much [sic] best to make the world a better place."Sophia could soon have company from other robotics manufacturers, namely SoftBank, whose Pepper robot was released as a prototype in 2014 and as a consumer model a year later.
