World Economic Forum Video: What Is the Informal Economy? & Sustainable Space Exploration | WEF | Top Stories of the Week

Play Video: What Is the Informal Economy? & Sustainable Space Exploration | WEF | Top Stories of the Week

This week's top stories of the week include: 0:15 What is the informal economy? – Erika Kraemer-Mbula is an expert on alternative development paths. She says the informal economy is more prevalent than many think, two-thirds of overall employment. It touches many areas, from retail to transport, domestic care, and even creative and intellectual labour. 4:49 Sustainable space exploration – Alice Bunn is the former head of the UK’s space agency and now leads UKspace, its space trade association. Billionaire space missions may steal the headlines, Bunn says, but the majority of space programmes benefit everyday lives all over the world. 9:32 AI can help preserve languages – 7,168 languages are spoken in the world today. But one dies out every 40 days. 90% could fall silent forever in the next 100 years. One key problem is that generative AI is trained on just a few of the world’s languages. 14:06 How tech can bridge access to justice – Gerald Abila was raised in Uganda in the 1980s during a period of bloody civil conflict. Abila planned on becoming an engineer. But his studies prompted the question: What’s the most powerful tool we can use to engineer a peaceful society? His answer: the law. _____________________________________________ The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation.
