#BTDavos2026 LIVE: WEF President Børge Brende On Trade Wars, AI Opportunities & Risks | Exclusive

BT Davos Brainstorm 2026 brings together Siddharth Zarabi, Group Editor, Business Today, and Rajdeep Sardesai, Consulting Editor, India Today TV, in conversation with Børge Brende, President of the World Economic Forum. Set against the Davos 2026 theme “A Spirit of Dialogue,” the conversation examines how meaningful dialogue can move beyond symbolism to deliver real outcomes in an increasingly fragmented world. The discussion explores the erosion of trust between governments, businesses and institutions, and what it will take to rebuild cooperation amid rising geopolitical rivalry and economic uncertainty. From global trade tensions and supply-chain resilience to strategic autonomy and protectionism, the conversation questions how the global system can remain open yet secure. The leaders also debate the rapid rise of artificial intelligence, its impact on jobs and ethics, and whether it represents a bubble or a lasting transformation. With a strong focus on emerging economies, particularly India, the session highlights new drivers of sustainable and inclusive global growth.
