World Economic Forum to supervise virtual universe

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is making plans to dominate the metaverse, an immersive virtual universe that will use augmented and virtual realities to connect people around the globe. 

In the metaverse, people could immerse themselves through an avatar and interact with the avatars of other users in seemingly limitless ways, including carrying out transactions. 

The metaverse is a concept being worked on by some of the largest technology corporations in the world, including Facebook, which changed its name in October to Meta with the intention of focusing on building the metaverse. 

Meta estimates that the metaverse will be a $3 trillion “reboot” of the internet. 

At the recent World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2022 in Davos, Switzerland, the globalist organization announced that it is taking steps to ensure that the metaverse is shaped according to its global agenda. The WEF is partnering with Microsoft and Accenture to create a “Global Collaboration Village” which will work to implement its vision. 

“The metaverse will influence the way, people, governments, companies and society at large think, work, interact and communicate for the purpose of collectively addressing issues on the global agenda.,” said WEF Founder and Executive Chairman Klaus Schwab. “The Global Collaboration Village will be an extension of the World Economic Forum’s public private platforms and in-person meetings and will provide a more open, more sustained and more comprehensive process for coming together.” 

The WEF is also establishing another initiative called “Defining and Building the Metaverse”, which will decide how the metaverse is governed. This initiative will bring together “more than 60 leading companies from technology and other sectors alongside experts from governments, academia and civil society” to create the “governance and policy frameworks” that will rule the metaverse. 

“This initiative and the Global Collaboration Village will help shape the foundations of the metaverse to truly create an equitable, interoperable and safe digital environment from the onset,” says the organization. 

Currently, the WEF’s agenda is laser focused on environmental issues like climate change, which it considers to be the greatest threat to humanity. It is therefore unclear what specific policies and agenda the WEF intends to impose on the metaverse.
