The world really is more unpredictable than ever - two 'chief risk officers' explain why

You're not imagining it: the world really is more unpredictable than it used to be. That's the opinion of the chief risk officers at carmaker Volkswagen and the World Trade Organisation, who join us on Radio Davos to discuss how we can best confront the ever more complex risk landscape.

Geopolitics, supply chains, disinformation and artificial intelligence are among the headline risks that are increasingly interlinked and therefore harder to predict, the risk officers say - but they are both optimistic about our ability to cope.
