00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:01.760
Rich, thank you so much for
joining us.

7fbf5dde-a3d3-4f21-afe1-eb2efbc42369-0
00:00:02.040 --> 00:00:04.720
Tell us about the importance of
international cooperation.

b2e0bf22-57b7-4be8-baf9-66f285a774d8-0
00:00:05.880 --> 00:00:07.040
Well, it's great to be here.

eed229f7-1c45-4ca0-89f5-68e1fb6f22ae-0
00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:09.765
And I think honestly,
international cooperation is

eed229f7-1c45-4ca0-89f5-68e1fb6f22ae-1
00:00:09.765 --> 00:00:13.185
something that matters to all of
us, to all of our families, to

eed229f7-1c45-4ca0-89f5-68e1fb6f22ae-2
00:00:13.185 --> 00:00:13.880
our children.

21b27ed4-895e-419a-a187-ef262db6d73f-0
00:00:14.200 --> 00:00:17.141
If you think about it, we have
just lived through a global

21b27ed4-895e-419a-a187-ef262db6d73f-1
00:00:17.141 --> 00:00:19.833
pandemic where international
cooperation on health is

21b27ed4-895e-419a-a187-ef262db6d73f-2
00:00:19.833 --> 00:00:20.880
incredibly important.

408b159a-18c3-4f87-a032-fcb6acb8e481-0
00:00:20.880 --> 00:00:25.590
We live in a world with lots of
conflict right now, with weapons

408b159a-18c3-4f87-a032-fcb6acb8e481-1
00:00:25.590 --> 00:00:27.040
of mass destruction.

200fc3ac-8de4-4455-aa4b-56717a717ea5-0
00:00:27.080 --> 00:00:30.360
Peace is fundamentally important
to all of us.

bd3698d9-4b08-4fb8-9822-d672d8303fa8-0
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:34.013
Trade, international trade and
cooperation has helped raise and

bd3698d9-4b08-4fb8-9822-d672d8303fa8-1
00:00:34.013 --> 00:00:37.160
grow the economies around the
world and actually literally

bd3698d9-4b08-4fb8-9822-d672d8303fa8-2
00:00:37.160 --> 00:00:39.400
lifted billions of people out of
poverty.

ad5a301c-a581-49a7-ab6d-60a4fb9c6ace-0
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:43.373
Continuing to be able to have
that network is just an

ad5a301c-a581-49a7-ab6d-60a4fb9c6ace-1
00:00:43.373 --> 00:00:45.240
incredibly important thing.

a75f6d60-f0f9-46ef-b299-950c7e841b8c-0
00:00:45.440 --> 00:00:47.560
And then we're actually facing
new challenges right now.

dad0e94a-1173-4623-8944-f7a2aea88ff1-0
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:51.709
So for example, think about
GenAI and the explosion of AI:

dad0e94a-1173-4623-8944-f7a2aea88ff1-1
00:00:51.709 --> 00:00:55.508
that has the chance to both
transform and help all of

dad0e94a-1173-4623-8944-f7a2aea88ff1-2
00:00:55.508 --> 00:01:00.079
humanity; it also has some real
risk depending on where it goes.

3907b0df-d13f-4079-8c0b-5a05b206efe0-0
00:01:00.080 --> 00:01:03.325
And so again, that's an
international challenge where

3907b0df-d13f-4079-8c0b-5a05b206efe0-1
00:01:03.325 --> 00:01:06.870
businesses, for example, would
love to have one regulatory

3907b0df-d13f-4079-8c0b-5a05b206efe0-2
00:01:06.870 --> 00:01:10.596
framework for AI, rather than
patchworks that make it so much

3907b0df-d13f-4079-8c0b-5a05b206efe0-3
00:01:10.596 --> 00:01:12.520
harder to work around the world.

ddd69ea2-2957-49d6-80c3-94217b6e7886-0
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:14.948
And so international
cooperation, I think, is

ddd69ea2-2957-49d6-80c3-94217b6e7886-1
00:01:14.948 --> 00:01:17.653
something that matters to us
all, but I think sometimes we

ddd69ea2-2957-49d6-80c3-94217b6e7886-2
00:01:17.653 --> 00:01:18.800
also take it for granted.

66cb1399-0822-42a4-810d-d28c7602da13-0
00:01:18.800 --> 00:01:19.880
It's a little bit like health.

6e19d604-3606-4983-99c1-d792df98eaa6-0
00:01:20.320 --> 00:01:23.880
You don't know how important it
is until you don't have it.

aa2d24c9-da93-4ad6-a31e-2d503fa369fe-0
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:27.493
So how do we approach this in
both emerging and developed

aa2d24c9-da93-4ad6-a31e-2d503fa369fe-1
00:01:27.493 --> 00:01:27.920
markets?

923acbb6-874e-482a-9040-d4dd631c6afe-0
00:01:29.080 --> 00:01:32.833
Well, so look, I think one of
the things that's clear is that

923acbb6-874e-482a-9040-d4dd631c6afe-1
00:01:32.833 --> 00:01:36.466
needs are really different
around the world, as well as the

923acbb6-874e-482a-9040-d4dd631c6afe-2
00:01:36.466 --> 00:01:37.920
capacity to make change.

f0c9798f-1bbf-434f-848c-1e3a8b75d19a-0
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:41.545
And so I think, you know, as we
think about international

f0c9798f-1bbf-434f-848c-1e3a8b75d19a-1
00:01:41.545 --> 00:01:45.296
cooperation and some of the core
challenges, whether that's

f0c9798f-1bbf-434f-848c-1e3a8b75d19a-2
00:01:45.296 --> 00:01:48.296
economic development or
addressing climate, the

f0c9798f-1bbf-434f-848c-1e3a8b75d19a-3
00:01:48.296 --> 00:01:51.984
responsibility for the Global
North to do things like make

f0c9798f-1bbf-434f-848c-1e3a8b75d19a-4
00:01:51.984 --> 00:01:55.735
technology available to all, to
put in place digital public

f0c9798f-1bbf-434f-848c-1e3a8b75d19a-5
00:01:55.735 --> 00:01:59.173
goods that are available to the
Global South and those

f0c9798f-1bbf-434f-848c-1e3a8b75d19a-6
00:01:59.173 --> 00:02:02.673
countries, to help create
financing mechanisms that can

f0c9798f-1bbf-434f-848c-1e3a8b75d19a-7
00:02:02.673 --> 00:02:06.424
create the funding models to
invest in economic development

f0c9798f-1bbf-434f-848c-1e3a8b75d19a-8
00:02:06.424 --> 00:02:10.174
around the world—especially the
Global South—are incredibly

f0c9798f-1bbf-434f-848c-1e3a8b75d19a-9
00:02:10.174 --> 00:02:10.799
important.

2fd7e65f-89fb-4416-8ea2-48e3c27e6783-0
00:02:11.600 --> 00:02:12.880
So how do we get there?

82baccc5-3006-4c8b-b8a8-b8094ba7ec0c-0
00:02:12.880 --> 00:02:13.920
What actions are needed?

f04df0ff-7d88-4195-9230-3fb7f555b76f-0
00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:18.022
Well, so the truth of the matter
is the number of actions needed

f04df0ff-7d88-4195-9230-3fb7f555b76f-1
00:02:18.022 --> 00:02:21.347
is probably too many to put in
our interview and discussion,

f04df0ff-7d88-4195-9230-3fb7f555b76f-2
00:02:21.347 --> 00:02:23.800
but a few that I think are
really important.

0d972156-0677-4c05-b63c-d5cd38fabb9c-0
00:02:24.720 --> 00:02:27.978
One is there's always a question
of how do you get the money to

0d972156-0677-4c05-b63c-d5cd38fabb9c-1
00:02:27.978 --> 00:02:30.320
achieve the goals the world
wants to achieve.

552f9b15-127d-47f1-8ebc-f595452acd15-0
00:02:30.640 --> 00:02:34.486
And I think there are some great
innovations around finance and

552f9b15-127d-47f1-8ebc-f595452acd15-1
00:02:34.486 --> 00:02:38.091
how to put multiple types of
finance—blended finance is the

552f9b15-127d-47f1-8ebc-f595452acd15-2
00:02:38.091 --> 00:02:42.057
typical term that's used—so that
the financing we need to achieve

552f9b15-127d-47f1-8ebc-f595452acd15-3
00:02:42.057 --> 00:02:43.440
these goals can happen.

3694f387-0723-4240-a587-61f683808b11-0
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:48.906
I do think there are public and
private partnerships that are

3694f387-0723-4240-a587-61f683808b11-1
00:02:48.906 --> 00:02:50.520
just really important.

6651ac8b-7ca3-40c3-a06d-6e0cb960cd7b-0
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.953
The private sector has an
amazing role to play in not

6651ac8b-7ca3-40c3-a06d-6e0cb960cd7b-1
00:02:53.953 --> 00:02:57.832
necessarily setting what the
goals for the world are, but it

6651ac8b-7ca3-40c3-a06d-6e0cb960cd7b-2
00:02:57.832 --> 00:03:01.393
is the most powerful force when
you have private sector

6651ac8b-7ca3-40c3-a06d-6e0cb960cd7b-3
00:03:01.393 --> 00:03:05.400
companies, to be able to scale
and achieve goals like climate.

893d3ec7-549b-42fc-b1a8-bfa23f3471ad-0
00:03:05.920 --> 00:03:09.827
Or it also is, you know, often
the group that in a topic like

893d3ec7-549b-42fc-b1a8-bfa23f3471ad-1
00:03:09.827 --> 00:03:13.797
technology and AI understands
that topic the best and needs to

893d3ec7-549b-42fc-b1a8-bfa23f3471ad-2
00:03:13.797 --> 00:03:17.011
be able to help advise and
support governments and

893d3ec7-549b-42fc-b1a8-bfa23f3471ad-3
00:03:17.011 --> 00:03:20.982
multinational institutions and
what could work best as we work

893d3ec7-549b-42fc-b1a8-bfa23f3471ad-4
00:03:20.982 --> 00:03:23.439
towards sort of global societal
goals.

23fd3a36-9418-40df-b4d9-7d6446c32b53-0
00:03:23.880 --> 00:03:24.680
Thank you so much.
