Livestreaming today [29 May] at the University of Johannesburg in South Africa, Schwab spoke at length about what he calls ‘the intelligent age” and what it means for jobs, students and humanity.
Comparing previous industrial revolutions to the so-called intelligent age, the grand architect of the Great Reset agenda said that our thinking abilities were now being delegated to artificial intelligence.
According to Schwab, the winners in this brave new world. where intelligence is delegated to algorithms. will be those who are able to adapt.
However, we shall see that adaptability, or as the German-native Schwab calls it “adaptility [sic],” will mean having enough money to be able to afford access to AI knowledge bases and know how to use them to their advantage.
“With artificial intelligence you have many more capabilities to find out what truth is. If I go today to Claude or to ChatGPT or whatever it is, if I make the necessary efforts, I can find out what the truth is”—Klaus Schwab, The Intelligent Age and the Responsibility of African Leadership,May 2026
Notice how Schwab says, “if I make the necessary efforts?” Why is that? It’s because these AI tools scrape the internet and push forward the top-ranking results.
Top ranking doesn’t always correlate with truth. The necessary efforts, therefore, are related to human research.
You can’t trust an LLM to bring you the truth because it will spit back whatever some spook had ghost-edited in Wikipedia, or what was allowed by censors at Reddit, or what information wasn’t permitted by the gatekeepers at Google and their unelected globalist partners at the United Nations (“UN”).
Nevertheless, Schwab puts his faith in AI and the big tech companies for providing all the knowledge we need.
In this scenario, universities are outdated, and according to the WEF founder, higher education should focus more on learning how to use new technologies rather than teaching actual knowledge.
“You don’t have to go to university anymore. For each knowledge question, you can go to Claude, you can go to ChatGPT or whatever. Knowledge is around us and is free of charge”—Klaus Schwab, The Intelligent Age and the Responsibility of African Leadership, May 2026
According to Schwab, we should give up our pursuit of knowledge. We should instead focus on our “capabilities.”
And what types of capabilities are those?
The capabilities to interact with a chatbot, and you should go back to university every year to get your updated certificate as if it were a subscription to be beholden to AI and big tech for life.
Schwab calls this a transition from “learning for life to lifelong learning.”
With only the elite having access to intelligence on a meter and lifelong learning, Schwab acknowledged that the WEF has long been criticised for being elitist.
However, he never actually denied being an elitist.
Instead, he doubled down on the notion that “we are part of global community,” which flies in the face of sovereign nations and of different cultural values that are not shared by a “global community.”
“Of course, the forum was very often criticised for being elite […] I was very often called the elite globalist or whatever. Globalisation should not be a philosophy or an ideology. We are part of a global community. We are globally interdependent”—Klaus Schwab, The Intelligent Age and the Responsibility of African Leadership, May 2026
