The world is in disarray, as a bloody war continues to rage in Ukraine and Russia threatens to deploy nuclear weapons; a continuing trade-technological battle between Beijing and Washington risks deteriorating into a full-blown war over Taiwan; Saudi Arabia cuts its oil production and Iran may go nuclear; and everyone is talking about ChatGPT and the challenge that artificial intelligence is posing to our way of life.
