Moscow, Russia - January 31, 2026 - Expert Dialogues were held for the first time within the Open Dialogue framework at the Russia National Centre in Moscow on 30 January. The forum focused on five major megatrends shaping global economic, technological, and social development, bringing together international experts to explore how these forces will influence societies and industries in the decades ahead.

Organized by the Russia National Centre in partnership with the Centre for Cross-Industry Expertise "The Third Rome" and supported by the Presidential Executive Office, the forum brought together experts from around the world to discuss economic, technological, and social transformations.

Maksim Oreshkin, Deputy Head of the Russian Executive Administration for Global Trends, presented five key megatrends that, he said, are already shaping global development and will continue to influence the world in the coming decades.

"By 2026, Open Dialogue has become an international platform uniting experts from across the world to discuss the future of the planet, the global economy, and society," Oreshkin said. "Understanding these processes is essential for preparing for change and leveraging it in the interests of nations and, above all, people. Today, I will focus on five key megatrends — while not treating artificial intelligence as a separate trend, because it has already become an integral part of our lives."

1. A New Global Economic Paradigm: Globalisation 2.0

A shift from traditional globalisation to a more decentralised system was described. BRICS+ countries now play a growing role in the global economy, technological development, and demographic trends, while the Global South is increasingly engaging in direct trade and national-currency settlements.

"Globalisation hasn't ended; it has changed," Oreshkin said. "Sovereignty — at state, social, and economic levels — is now the key to competitiveness. Only countries that preserve all three levels can lead in a multipolar world."

China, the USA, India, and Russia are identified as major global powers, while highlighting emerging growth centres such as Indonesia and "connector countries" like the United Arab Emirates. Digital platforms and decentralised networks are also becoming independent participants in the world economy.

2. Platformisation and Institutional Automation

The second megatrend highlights the rise of platforms and automation across all sectors. Platforms and algorithms are increasingly shaping decision-making in healthcare, education, finance, trade, and beyond.

"Platform solutions enhance efficiency and reduce transaction costs through self-adjusting algorithms," Oreshkin said. "Countries without technological sovereignty risk becoming dependent on external platforms, which can have strategic consequences during conflicts."

3. Transformation of the Global Financial System

It was noted that traditional financial models face mounting challenges, including rising public debt, widening inequality, and geopolitical fragmentation. Technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, and digital platforms are creating alternative financial mechanisms, including decentralised finance.

"The traditional model of cross-border payments is under pressure. Decentralised systems and digital technologies are reshaping the financial system," he said.

4. Demographic Shifts and Challenges

The fourth megatrend concerns global population dynamics. Global fertility rates have fallen sharply, with some countries facing critical declines. By the end of the 21st century, the working-age population may shrink significantly, while the proportion of elderly people rises, placing pressure on pension systems and social services.

"Even in Africa, the ratio of elderly to working-age population will rise to 30%, and globally to 56%," Oreshkin explained. "Education demand will decrease, but healthcare and social service needs will grow. These interconnected trends will amplify each other."

5. Human Capital Development in the Technological Era

The final megatrend focuses on human capital in a rapidly changing technological environment.

Autonomous systems, digital platforms, and artificial intelligence are transforming education, work, and healthcare, while biotechnologies expand human capabilities.

"AI is both a challenge and an opportunity," Oreshkin said. "It allows personalized learning paths and supports teachers.

Professions are changing: mid-level specialists will be in demand, and companies must retrain employees from junior positions. The social sphere will also evolve, ensuring active longevity in the new demographic era."

Global Perspective

Throughout the presentation, Oreshkin illustrated each trend with real-life examples from different continents: a manager from Asia, a farmer from Africa, and a homemaker from Eastern Europe. He highlighted that innovations in Africa could improve education and healthcare, Eastern Europe may see rising living standards and more efficient social systems, and Asia will require reskilling to meet changing labor demands.

"The world has entered a period of significant change in finance, demography, and other spheres. States, companies, and individuals must be prepared. Those who understand and adapt will shape the future," Oreshkin concluded.

Open Dialogue on Air

This year, Open Dialogue introduced a podcast format — Open Dialogue on Air — featuring global experts discussing key trends in international development. Participants include award-winning Chinese sci-fi writer Chen Qiufan, Dr. Selina Neri of the Future Readiness Academy, Dr. Rais Hussin of EMIR Research (Malaysia), Prof. Wang Feng of UC Irvine, and global strategist Dr. Parag Khanna.

First held in April 2025 at the Russia National Centre, the Open Dialogue brought together over 3,000 experts from dozens of countries. By presidential decree, it will now be held annually.

Commences building an RWA (Real-World Asset) token economy

Maximizing Value Through Digitalization Using Cutting-Edge 3D Scanning Technology "SCAI" and RWA Indexing

New York, NY - January 20, 2026 - VIVI PROJECT (formerly LEGENDARY HUMANITY) announces a major update and rebranding. The project utilizes the latest 3D scanning technology "SCAI" to digitally archive humanity's cultural heritage, providing training data for AI and building a new token economy based on RWA (Real World Assets).

Background and Project Evolution

Previously, "LEGENDARY HUMANITY" aimed to digitize humanity's greatest masterpieces using cutting-edge technology, teaching AI about "humanity's magnificence" to preserve its value for future generations.

With this update, the project is renamed "VIVI PROJECT." Moving beyond mere archiving, it will challenge the creation of new value in the Web3 era as an "RWA token project" building a unique economic ecosystem backed by real-world assets (RWA).

The Four Pillars of the "RWA Ecosystem" Provided by VIVI PROJECT

l Digitization via High-Precision 3D Scanning Technology "SCAI:DIGITAL LUMINOUS Technology" Digitizing humanity's treasures and providing them as AI training data. Merging human wisdom with technological evolution.

l Adding RWA Value to VIVI COiN: Centered around the project token "VIVI COiN," we plan to link RWA held by collectors partnered with "VIVI PROJECT" to enhance the project's value.By using "LEGENDARY masterpieces" whose value appreciates over time as the foundation for "VIVI COiN," we build a stable value base.

l Hybrid Digital & Physical Museum Collected RWAs will be displayed in both digital museums and physical exhibition facilities. Trading via the marketplace will also be enabled, enhancing liquidity as an asset.

l VIVI DAO's "Buy-Back & Burn" Model The governing body, "VIVI DAO," will use exhibition and sales revenue to implement "Buy-Back" and "Burn" of VIVI COiN. This will increase the token's scarcity and promote long-term value appreciation.

Future Outlook: Global Collection Partnerships

The VIVI PROJECT is advancing the networking of collections held by global asset owners. As a first step, we have initiated the following partnerships and negotiations:

l LA MUSEUM: Holds one of the world's largest legendary fashion collections, including Yves Saint Laurent, Comme des Garçons, Worlds End, Alexander McQueen, John Galliano, and Madison Martin Margiela.

l Major Trading Card Company: Negotiations have commenced with the world's largest trading asset company.

l This will integrate Real-World Assets (RWAs) from diverse genres like fashion, art, and hobbies into the project, rapidly expanding the ecosystem.

VIVI PROJECT Overview

VIVI PROJECT is a next-generation platform that preserves and utilizes humanity's greatest masterpieces in both digital and physical realms through the fusion of culture and technology. By indexing RWA, it defines new asset value in the Web3 era.

New York, NY - December 23, 2025 - Holiverse, a biotech platform, has begun active development of a decentralized AI device designed to operate entirely offline without cloud dependency.

The device will embed private artificial intelligence directly on hardware, eliminating the need to transmit personal data to external servers. According to the company, this approach addresses growing concerns about data sovereignty, privacy erosion and the concentration of AI processing power in centralized platforms.

"We have conflated intelligence with centralization," said Lado Okhotnikov, founder of Holiverse. "We built these vast, brilliant minds and asked them to solve our problems. But in doing so, we outsourced our sovereignty."

The Holiverse decentralized AI initiative targets three key capabilities:

l On-device processing: All data remains in a closed loop on the user's hardware

l Offline functionality: Intelligence operates without internet connectivity

l Hyper-personalization: Models tuned to individual biological and behavioral data

"This is undoubtedly a complex and resource-intensive process, and we are engaging some of the leading AI specialists," Okhotnikov added. "This technology has the potential to significantly reduce the risks associated with AI and make interaction with it truly personal."

Holiverse expects to present initial developments publicly in the coming months.

Holiverse is a biotech platform that integrates human biology and advanced technology. Founded by Lado Okhotnikov, the company creates holistic health solutions through personalized, data-driven approaches. Learn more at holiverse.ai.

New details reveal a major international scam linked to Forbes Private Bank Monaco, connected to the cloned cards seized in Melaka. Run by Japanese businessman Yuki Ujita, this operation pretends to be a real private bank in Monaco but is accused of running a Ponzi scheme. It takes advantage of weak rules in countries across Africa and Asia.

東京, 2025年11月18日 - TuneFab社はこのたび、同社の主力製品である音楽形式変換ツール「TuneFab」のメジャーアップデートとなるバージョン4.0のリリースを発表しました。

今回の大型アップデートでは、これまでのメイン機能である音楽変換に加え、利用者の音楽コンテンツを包括的に体験かつ管理するための新機能――「ライブラリ」、および音声ファイルの実用性を高める「ツール」を新たに統合しました。

これにより、TuneFabは音楽ファイルの形式変換ツールから、音楽の保存、整理、編集、再生までを一貫してサポートする総合音楽プラットフォームへの進化を図っていることが分かります。

音楽コンテンツを一か所で管理できる「ライブラリ」

新たに搭載された機能「ライブラリ」では、TuneFabを通じて変換した音楽コンテンツに加え、既存のローカル保存ファイルも一元的に管理可能になりました。

利用者はソフト内で変換を終えた音楽を自動的にライブラリへ保存し、外部プレイヤーを使うことなく直接再生できます。これにより、「変換から再生までをTuneFabで完結」できるシームレスな利用体験を実現しています。

プレイリスト機能で、より柔軟な音楽整理

「ライブラリ」にある曲を「お気に入り」または「プレイリスト」に追加することで、ソフト内で再生することが可能になります。また、プレイリストは利用者が自分のコレクションを好みに合わせて分類・整理できます。シーンや気分ごとに楽曲をまとめて再生できるほか、オフライン環境でもスムーズに音楽を楽しめます。

既存のローカルファイルも統合管理

ローカル音源も簡単にインポートできるため、デバイス内に点在していた音楽ファイルをまとめて管理可能です。これにより、煩雑だったファイル管理を解消し、統一されたインターフェースでの再生体験を提供します。

「ツール」機能との連携で音楽管理の効率を向上

ライブラリ上の楽曲は、「ツール」機能との連携によりメタ情報(ID3)の編集など、さまざまな処理をワンクリックで実行可能です。これにより、音楽管理の効率化と利便性がさらに高まりました。

実用性をさらに拡大：TuneFabバージョン4.0他新機能のハイライト

TuneFab Ver4.0では、音楽再生や変換の基本性能に加え、利用者の利便性と操作体験を大きく向上させる新要素が追加されました。より自然な再生品質と、快適な音楽管理環境を実現します。

「オリジナル音質」への対応

今回のアップデートにより、変換後の音源でも「オリジナル音質」に限りなく近い再現が可能になりました。形式変換や圧縮による劣化を最小限に抑え、楽曲の細部まで忠実に再生。スタジオ収録そのままの臨場感を保ちながら音楽を楽しめます。

歌詞ファイル（.lrc）の保存に対応

TuneFabは新たに、歌詞データ（.lrcファイル）の保存に対応しました。音源と一緒に歌詞ファイルを保存できるため、対応プレイヤーでの同期再生や、語学学習・カラオケ練習などにも活用可能です。

操作体験を最適化し、ユーザーインタラクションを強化

UIデザインや操作フローが見直され、より直感的でスムーズな操作が可能になりました。主要機能へのアクセス性が向上したことで、ファイル変換・管理・再生など一連の操作を短時間で効率的に行えます。これにより、TuneFab全体の利用体験が一段と快適になりました。

最後に

TuneFabバージョン4.0は、従来の高速かつ高品質な音楽変換機能に加え、新たに「ライブラリ」を中核に据えることで、音楽ライフの管理と活用をより包括的にサポートします。これにより、利用者は音源の変換から再生、整理、編集までを一つの環境で完結できるようになり、TuneFabは“変換ソフト”から“音楽体験を支えるプラットフォーム”へと進化を遂げました。本バージョンの登場は、音楽の新しい楽しみ方を提案する重要な一歩となります。

"With the increasing pressure on newsrooms to produce high-quality content under tight deadlines, our Virtual News Editor Assistant provides much-needed support," Clark added.

Moscow, Russia - October 11, 2025 - 国際プラットフォームOpen Dialogueは火曜日、2026年国際エッセイコンテストの開始を発表しました。世界中の若手専門家や思想的リーダーに、地球規模の経済課題と持続可能な開発の機会に関する提案を提出するよう呼びかけています。

世界中の若手専門家に経済・社会変革のビジョン提出を呼びかけ
このイニシアチブは、プログラムディレクター兼経済開発アドバイザーのMaxim Oreshkin氏が、今週Moscowで開催された国際シンポジウム「Inventing the Future」で発表しました。このコンテストは、プロジェクト初回の成功に基づいており、初回コンテストでは102か国の参加者から16言語で696本のエッセイが提出されました。
「多様な職業や文化の若く活力ある著者を巻き込むため、第二回国際エッセイコンテストを開催します」とOreshkin氏はシンポジウムでの基調講演で述べました。「私たちは未来への革新的なビジョンを求めています――個人、社会、経済、そして地球全体の未来です。」

Open Dialogueプロジェクトは、独立した国際プラットフォームとして、異文化交流と経済議論を推進し、若手リーダーと経験豊富な専門家が地球規模の重要課題について意味のある対話を行う場を提供することを目的としています。コンテスト主催者は、選ばれた提案は国際的な経済開発パネルやシンクタンクによるレビューのために包括的な報告書にまとめられると強調しました。

初回コンテストでは、持続可能な都市開発から新興市場におけるデジタル変革まで幅広いテーマのエッセイが提出され、世界的な関与の高さが示されました。プログラムの統計によると、初回コンテストでは100名のファイナリストが選ばれ、Moscowで開催された国際フォーラムで産業リーダー、学者、政策アドバイザーに自分のアイデアを発表しました。
「シリコンバレーのテクノロジー起業家からサブサハラアフリカの社会的イノベーターまで、多様な視点が寄せられたことは、私たちが直面する課題の普遍性と、世界の各地から生まれる創造的解決策を示しています」とコンテスト国際コーディネーターのAnna Petrova氏は述べています。

2026年コンテストでは、従来のテーマを拡張し、人工知能倫理、気候適応戦略、包括的経済モデルに焦点を当てた新カテゴリーを導入します。参加者は母国語でエッセイを提出でき、組織委員会が翻訳を提供し、広範なアクセス性と公平な評価を確保します。

このイニシアチブは、国内プログラム「Dreams of the Future」とも連携しており、創造的なビデオ提出を通じてロシア全土の4,000人の若手専門家が参加しました。このプログラムでは、参加者は「We want to create a future in which...」というフレーズで始まる未来のシナリオを描き、文化機関によってキュレーションされたサイエンスフィクション文学を参照することが求められました。

ヨーロッパ、アジア、アメリカの大学との教育提携も設立され、参加促進および学術支援を提供しています。Open Dialogueプラットフォームは、専用のソーシャルメディアチャンネルやオンラインリソース、ウェビナー、メンタープログラムも開設しており、提出プロセス全体で参加者をサポートします。

コンテスト提出物は、経済学者、社会科学者、技術専門家、持続可能性専門家から成る国際審査員団によって評価されます。評価基準には、革新性、実現可能性、潜在的な世界的影響、持続可能な開発目標との整合性が含まれます。

受賞者には、国際インターンシップ、研究助成金、グローバル経済フォーラムへの参加機会が与えられます。上位100名のファイナリストは、ワークショップ、ネットワーキングセッション、国際組織へのプレゼンテーションを含む1週間のサミットにMoscowへ招待されます。

Open Dialogueプロジェクトは、若い世代を巻き込み、協力的なアプローチで地球規模の課題に取り組む国際プラットフォームの増加傾向の一部を示しています。近年、同様のイニシアチブには、世界経済フォーラムのGlobal Shapers Communityや国連の若者参加プログラムが含まれます。

Oreshkin氏は、最も有望な提案は、開発機関および民間セクターのスポンサーとのパートナーシップを通じてパイロット実施の支援を受けると述べています。「私たちは単にアイデアを収集しているのではなく、ビジョンを具体的な解決策に変える道を構築しています」と語りました。

コンテストの提出締切は2026年3月31日で、予備結果は5月に発表されます。最終プレゼンテーションと授賞式は2026年10月にMoscowで開催され、国際経済開発会議と同時期に行われます。

登録および提出ガイドラインは、Open Dialogueプラットフォームのウェブサイトで複数言語で入手可能です。主催者は、準備ウェビナーや最終授賞式を含む関連イベントのすべての放送および録画が、プロジェクトのソーシャルネットワークとデジタルチャネルを通じて利用可能であることを確認しています。

このイニシアチブは、国際学術機関、青年組織、経済開発機関から支持を受け、持続的な地球規模の課題に新しい視点を提供することを目的としています。
