Play Video: How AI Has Advanced Healthcare & Start-Up Empowers Millions of Farmers | WEF | Top Stories Week

This week's top stories of the week include: 0:15 5 ways AI has advanced healthcare – AI is improving surgery in a number of ways. From building ideal surgical plans for patients to guiding surgeons through tricky procedures.Globally, 4.5 billion people lack access to essential healthcare services. AI could help bridge that gap. Yet healthcare is ‘below average’ in its adoption of AI compared to other industries. 4:42 Start-up empowers millions of farmers – Farmerline is revolutionizing agriculture in Africa with its AI-driven interactive voice response tool, Darli AI. Available in 27 languages, including 20 African languages, Darli serves as a 911 for farmers—providing critical farming insights in a language they understand. Research shows that farmers are 60% more likely to adopt new techniques when information is delivered in their native language. 7:56 Workplace traditions we should rethink – Adam Grant is an organizational psychologist and professor at Wharton. Traditional hierarchies can stifle innovation, he says. One ‘no’ from on high can be all it takes to kill an idea. So, instead of a ladder with just one route upwards, what about a corporate lattice? 10:58 Why businesses need geopolitical muscle – Nikolaus Lang is Chair of the BCG Center for Geopolitics. As the world becomes more multipolar, with power centres outside the West in China, Russia, and increasingly the Global South, shifting trade flows are breaking down old alliances, and economic nationalism is on the rise. In this environment, businesses can put on ‘geopolitical muscle’ by focusing on 2 key elements. _____________________________________________ The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation.

Gary Barker is the founder of Equimundo, a non-profit dedicated to research and solutions that help bring men into connected, equitable, caring versions of manhood. He shares the insights gleaned since this organization’s founding more than a decade ago – a group that has collected the largest dataset on men, masculinity and gender equality and that publishes the only global report on men’s involvement in parenting and care work.

President Donald Trump imposed sweeping 25% tariffs on all steel and aluminum imported into the United States Wednesday, a policy aimed at leveling the playing field for US manufacturing but a move that threatens to drive up prices on a broad range of consumer and industrial goods for Americans. It’s the latest salvo in Trump’s multifaceted tariff plan aimed at correcting perceived trade imbalances and reigniting domestic industry. But it risks igniting a global trade war. The European Union, hit for the first time by higher US tariffs since Trump returned to the White House, retaliated within hours with countermeasures on US goods exports. #CNN #News
