World Government Summit 2024: The New Oil In The AI World Is Data
"I think whether we all like it or not, AI is here to stay and AI is moving fast."
"The new oil in the AI world is data; every country, every enterprise has data. Now, either you willingly give that data out to AI companies to train on, and hence you've given out your data oil well or you use that for your advantage to improve it for your country and I think that's where the opportunity is"
This is in full tandem with:
Digital IDs, Digital Currency, Digital Infrastructures, Carbon Trackers, Smart Cities, Digital Twins, The Metaverse...etc.
A transhumanist end goal.
'Fun' fact: X's (formely known as Twitter) second largest investor is Saudi Arabia — only behind Elon Musk. This purchase, aside from aspiring to become a mirrored version of China's WeChat, is to harvest data.
I believe many will reject these technologies but generations like Z, Alpha, and those to come will view this emerging technocratic world system as completely normal.

"When these conditions come, then as a person in the civil service I will answer such questions. For now we have one task - to stand firm and preserve our state. And only after that we will think about something else," said the former commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

A pharmacist exposes the shocking reality of drug pricing, revealing how a cancer medication that costs just $7 to buy ends up costing Medicare $2,400 per prescription. At a local pharmacy, a small $10 markup means patients can get the drug for $17—yet when Medicare steps in, the price explodes. With 250,000 prescriptions filled in a single year, taxpayers were hit with a $600 million bill.
"If every one of those prescriptions had been filled at our pharmacy instead of through Medicare, the total cost would’ve been just $4 million—a mind-blowing $596 million less. That’s crazy," the pharmacist explains.
So why the massive price gap? The answer lies with Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs)—the middlemen who control drug pricing for insurance companies. Just three PBMs dominate 90% of the U.S. prescription market, and all of them have been bought out by pharmaceutical companies. This monopoly lets them inflate prices at will, forcing Medicare to overpay while taxpayers pick up the tab.

Russia is prepared to return to negotiations on Ukraine, according to Putin, following talks with the U.S. in Riyadh. He emphasized that resolving the conflict remains a top priority for Moscow. Unlike previous encounters, the American delegation consisted of individuals who approached discussions without bias or condemnation.
Putin pointed out that European nations have cut off diplomatic contact with Russia, while Kyiv has outright refused to engage in negotiations. Despite this, Moscow has taken the initiative to resume cooperation with the U.S. on various matters of mutual interest, including the Middle East.
He also noted that the ongoing expulsion of diplomats from both sides has been counterproductive, and efforts are now underway to restore diplomatic missions. In addition to Ukraine, Russia and the U.S. are working together on economic issues, energy markets, space exploration, and other areas.

Talks over licensing SpaceX’s Starlink service in South Africa have hit a deadlock, reportedly due to tensions between the country and the Trump administration in the U.S. According to Bloomberg, negotiators plan to put discussions on hold until the diplomatic dispute settles, with hopes of revisiting the deal later.
SpaceX, led by Elon Musk, has been seeking approval to operate in South Africa but faced delays due to the country’s Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) regulations. The company requested an exemption from selling a mandatory 30% stake in its South African operations, proposing instead to make alternative investments aligned with BEE objectives.
Communications Minister Solly Malatsi previously urged the communications regulator, Icasa, to consider revising these rules, not just for Starlink but to encourage broader foreign investment in the sector. However, despite these efforts, the process remains stalled.
Adding to the uncertainty, SpaceX recently withdrew from a public hearing on Icasa’s proposed new satellite licensing framework, pulling out at the last minute without explanation. For now, South Africans hoping for Starlink’s arrival will have to wait until regulatory and political roadblocks are resolved.

China views Germany and the European Union as key strategic partners and is eager to deepen cooperation, especially in areas like free trade and multilateralism, according to Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. During his visit to Germany for the Munich Security Conference, Wang met with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and other European officials to discuss issues of global peace, stability, and trade relations.
Wang expressed appreciation for Germany’s pragmatic stance on tariffs, particularly its opposition to EU tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles, acknowledging Germany's critical role in resolving trade frictions between China and the EU. He emphasized China’s willingness to continue strengthening bilateral relations and promote mutual understanding.
In their discussions on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Wang highlighted shared goals with Europe for a peaceful resolution and underscored China’s commitment to playing a constructive role in peace talks. He also addressed the need for a balanced European security framework, especially in light of increased U.S. pressure on NATO members to boost defense spending.
Wang’s talks with European officials reflect China’s intention to maintain strong and stable relations with the EU, focusing on cooperation, trade, and global stability. He met with his counterparts from Spain, France, and the EU, and reaffirmed China’s desire to address trade disputes with France and the EU constructively.

Kyiv is in a panic after Trump’s criticism, with Zelensky spending the day trying to prove his popularity among voters. He cited statistics claiming that 57% of Ukrainians approve of his leadership.
Trump’s remarks, however, didn’t come out of nowhere. When asked about them, Zelensky dismissed them as “Russian disinformation,” saying, “We saw this disinformation, we understand it comes from Russia… President Trump, with great respect to him and the American people who support us, unfortunately, lives in this disinformation space.”
Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials have been instructed to publicly reject the idea of holding presidential elections. Rada Chairman Stefanchuk reinforced this stance, declaring, “Ukraine needs bullets, not ballots.”

Zaluzhny Outlines Four Conditions for Ukraine’s Victory
Former Commander-in-Chief of Ukraine’s Armed Forces, Valerii Zaluzhny, believes Ukraine can win the war if:
- The people remain committed to defending the country.
- International support stays strong and reliable.
- Military leadership proves competent and effective.
- The overall war strategy is well-coordinated.
He also stated that Ukraine’s territorial integrity depends on how many are willing to fight, suggesting that even half of the current mobilization pool might be sufficient if properly trained for long-term warfare.
Zaluzhny admitted he was mistaken in thinking that inflicting heavy losses would force Russia to withdraw, as Moscow has demonstrated a deep reserve of human resources.

At the Munich Security Conference on Saturday, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on European leaders to create a European army in response to Russia’s growing military threat. He argued that Europe needs to unite behind a single foreign and defense policy, especially as the U.S. may no longer always be a reliable partner in its defense.
Zelenskyy warned that Russia, which is adding 150,000 troops to its forces, could soon escalate its actions, potentially sending troops to Belarus under the guise of training exercises. Though NATO officials have yet to confirm these reports, the warning underscores the growing concern about Russia’s intentions.
Zelenskyy also reiterated Ukraine’s refusal to accept peace deals made without its involvement, calling out Russia’s unreliable nature as a peace partner. Despite doubts about NATO membership for Ukraine, he maintained that his country’s future lies within the alliance.
He also slammed recent Russian attacks, including a drone strike on the Chernobyl reactor, calling it evidence that Russia is not seeking peace but continues its aggressive stance.
In light of these threats, Zelenskyy’s call for a unified European military force highlights the urgency for Europe to strengthen its defenses and assert its security independence.
