Comment by Christine Lagarde
President of the European Central Bank
[AI] is capital intensive, energy intensive, data intensive. It prospers if there is plenty of that. If we don't work cooperatively, there will be less data to process, less capital flowing, and that is not conducive to the prosperity of a sector that is leading that game and is very promising to productivity. [...] We are heading for real trouble if we don't pay attention to the distribution of wealth and the disparity that is getting deeper and bigger.

Quote attributed to Christine Lagarde (ECB President), from Davos 2026 (WEF). The source_url (weforum.org) returned HTTP 403 to direct WebFetch, but a web search confirmed the quote verbatim on that exact WEF article: AI "is capital intensive, energy intensive, data intensive... If we don't work cooperatively, there will be less data to process, less capital flowing..." plus her warning about "the distribution of wealth and the disparity that is getting deeper and bigger." Attribution correct, year 2026, relevant. Vote "for" on statement 442 ("economic gains from frontier AI should be shared with every person on Earth") aligns: Lagarde stresses cooperation and warns of deepening wealth disparity, supporting broader distribution of AI's gains.
