Tech and business leaders are in Davos, Switzerland for the World Economic Forum.They've been discussing Donald Trump's inauguration and AI as they wait for the event to begin in earnest.This is what Business Insider is hearing and seeing at the convention of the rich and powerful.The World Economic Forum in Davos doesn't begin in earnest until later on Monday, but business and tech leaders have already descended on the Swiss mountain resort.AI, Donald Trump's reelection, and crypto are proving hot topics.Business Insider is on the ground and talking to people. This is what we're hearing.Talk of AI and AI agents is already in full swing here, but Mihir Shukla, CEO of Automation Anywhere, believes this year the conversation is turning from hype to questions about practical realities. "As CEOs here are chasing AI, they find it cool, but the job is to find value," he told BI in an interview. "I know this is cool, but what can I do with it? I think that conversation happens this year."Can AI do his job yet? Not completely, but he admitted it could do some. A fun example: His company built a boardroom AI agent and trained it on years of the company's financial information and presentations. "It was able to match patterns that the most experienced people couldn't," he said. It was so good, they even gave the AI agent an empty seat at the boardroom table for dramatic effect. Hugh LangleyOne hurdle with AI agents: How do companies get paid for their work, and who gets the credit, and more importantly, the revenue, internally? Raj Sharma, EY's global managing partner for growth and innovation, told BI the power of AI agents is forcing the professional services giant to reconsider its commercial model. Instead of just charging clients based on the hours and resources EY might spend on a project, Sharma said with AI agents it can take a "service-as-a-software" approach where clients pay based on outcome.The issue isn't just external. Some thought needs to be given to who owns the agents and is responsible for the revenue they bring in. "As much time as we are spending on the technology aspect of these things, the whole commercial model, the risk models associated with that, there's an equal amount of energy, at least companies like ours are spending, to say 'What is the right commercial model?'" Sharma said. Dan DeFrancescoThis is my fourth Davos, and every year, one topic seems to take over. In 2023, it was AI's rapid rise. In 2022, inflation angst was the buzzword. This year is a three-way brawl between agentic AI, Trump's tariff talk, and crypto's regulatory tug-of-war.Crypto isn't just a side conversation anymore. With bulls celebrating bitcoin passing the $100,000 mark and regulators clashing over how to rein in the Wild West of digital assets, crypto is now as much a part of Davos as cheese and fondue at high-powered dinner debates.But which topic will dominate the late-night wining and dining and daytime-ski chatter? Crypto's got the hype, AI has the intrigue, and Trump? He can't help but be the main character. Spriha SrivastavaIt's a bit warmer than usual in the mountain town this week, with daily highs reaching the mid-to-high 30s. At night, it's only expected to drop to the mid-to-high 20s. (The daily average temperature for the town is typically in the low 20s.) And the famous "suits and boots" look the conference has become known for won't be as necessary this week with no snow forecast.All of that is in stark contrast to the US, where the East Coast is dealing with some severe cold weather and a rare snow and ice storm threatens the South. Dan DeFrancesco Davos' Promenade is full of emerging economies setting out their stalls. Spriha Srivastava/Business Insider Walking down the Promenade in Davos Sunday night, I couldn't help but notice something different emerging economies are showing up in a bigger way this year. Last year, India and Saudi Arabia made a splash, staking out prime real estate along this iconic stretch where you're just as likely to bump into a government leader as you are a tech billionaire.But this year? The guest list has expanded. Brazil, Indonesia, Mongolia, and Korea have all joined the Davos scene, setting up their own hubs and signaling that they're ready to be heard. I've got meetings lined up with officials from these countries, and I'm curious to hear what's top of mind for them. One recurring theme? Donald Trump's reelection and what it could mean for the developing world. With global capital still flowing largely from the US, there's a lot at stake. Policies shaped in Washington have ripple effects from Jakarta to So Paulo. The mood here suggests leaders aren't just watchingthey're strategizing. Spriha SrivastavaDavos is known for its big parties. JPMorgan hosts one of the week's biggest blow-out events. Google, Qualcomm, and others are also hosting big gatherings. CEOs and other folks on the ground tell me going to parties is the best way to network but say that the smaller parties can be best for meaningful conversations. Hugh Langley

President-elect Donald Trump is set to become President Donald Trump again. And hes made a lot of promises about what hes going to do with his executive power.On immigration, hes said hed like to enact mass deportations and end birthright citizenship (which is constitutionally protected), among other things. Hes made grand pledges on foreign policy, telling Americans he can solve the war in Ukraine as easily as you might open a bag of chips. Hes said hell reshape our (and the world) economy with sweeping tariffs. And his allies have hinted at even more unorthodox actions as well, including moves that could gut the federal workforce and classify Mexican cartels as terrorist groups.The bottom line is, if Trump does even a fraction of the things he and his team have floated, hes going to radically reshape the United States. However, his vision of the future may not come to pass. A president only has so much power, and Trump is infamously mercurial perhaps hell change his mind. And it may be that matters outside his control (for example, a global pandemic) completely warp his policy plans.All that to say, its impossible to predict just what Trump will do. What is possible, however, is creating a framework for thinking about what might happen during his second term. To help with that, I asked each member of Voxs politics team to answer a question: Whats the one thing you think is most important for people to keep in mind as Trump returns to power?Heres what they had to say:Andrew ProkopThe first time Trump was president, no ones theory of how hed govern was exactly right. Trumps most outspoken critics underestimated how, well, normal his administration would be on many policy matters. Good or bad, much of it was normal Republican stuff. Plus, though Trump often sounded unhinged, there was often at least some method in his madness, as he remained constrained by institutions and checks on his power, and could often be convinced to back down from his bluster.And yet, there was Trumps attempt to steal the 2020 election just one of many instances where he shockingly challenged long-standing democratic norms to try and get what he wanted, going far further than the political cognoscenti expected, and defying his apologists claims that he wasnt as dangerous as he seemed. So, when will second-term Trump be surprisingly normal? And when will he push the envelope in ways that risk destabilizing the country and the world?Think policyNicole NareaThe first Trump administration reshaped the conversation around immigration for the long haul, successfully framing it around the border and enforcement, while ignoring the contributions of immigrants living in the US. This time around, hes said hed like to go further. However, the policy changes Trump is reportedly considering mass detention and deportations, ending birthright citizenship, and shutting down the border are not a real fix to an immigration system badly overburdened and in need of modernization or the factors that cause people to migrate in the first place. That is, even if Trump is successful in radically altering immigration policy, hes unlikely to succeed in fixing immigration. An actual solution would, for starters, update legal pathways to the US to fit its economic and humanitarian needs, increase staffing levels across the system (not just among immigration enforcement), and quickly and fairly process people at the border.Eric LevitzThe incoming Trump administration is riven by competing factions. And its internal power struggles could have profound consequences for the next four years of public policy.Some in Trumps orbit want to scale back his tariff proposals, while others (including the president) wish to stick to a more radically protectionist agenda. Incoming Secretary of State Marco Rubio seeks to confront Beijing and protect Taiwan, while Trump advisor Elon Musk maintains close business ties to the Chinese Communist Party and has expressed opposition to anti-China trade policies.Musk and other pro-Trump tech moguls support guest worker visas for highly skilled foreigners, while deputy chief of staff/homeland security adviser Stephen Miller aims to restrict such visas.One version of MAGA could lead us toward a global trade war, mass deportation, and confrontation with China another, toward incremental changes in economic and foreign policies. Much therefore depends on who wins the Trump administrations civil wars.Remember that tomorrow isnt todayChristian PazI think it will be important to hold two ideas in our minds at the same time with this new administration: that Trump and his allies will overstep their popularity, and that Democrats will have to pick their fights in order to be an effective opposition.Trump and congressional Republicans are probably going to operate as if they have a huge popular mandate behind them. Yes, it might seem like all signs are pointing to them having one, but remember this: Trumps popularity is still historically low and it will probably drop once he begins to govern. Republicans control Congress by single-digit margins. Still, Democrats are on the back foot. You can probably expect they wont operate with the same kind of resistance they did eight years ago. Theyll have to evolve, bide their time, and not reflexively condemn Trump every time he does something. The bet is Trump will fumble things, giving Democrats the opportunity if they are strategic to capitalize on his mistakes. Zack BeauchampIt has become unfashionable to talk about Trump as a threat to American democracy. As if the fact that he won fair and square, and is being treated normally by much of the American elite, has somehow neutralized his inclination to break rules and shatter guardrails.That tendency, of course, has not been neutralized. The question for the new administration is not whether Trump will take actions that damage American democracy, but how severe that damage will be.The most important thing in the next four years will be tracking specific policy initiatives such as Schedule F reclassification of federal employees that contribute to democratic decline, and developing strategies to avert the worst outcomes.Patrick ReisTracking Trump is overwhelming for anyone. Hell make big proclamations on social media that go nowhere. His team will make major new policies while insisting that nothing has changed. And in the media, all of that will be surrounded by a swirl of accusations and defenses. So how is anyone to separate fact from fiction? It starts with patience. When Trump speaks, wait to see if he backs it up. When you hear about major changes, read past the headlines, and seek out outlets that aim to clarify, rather than amplify, the news. A clear-eyed understanding of the Trump administration is possible its just not always possible in real-time.The politics team, and all of Vox, will have a lot more for you on Trump and his administration in the days, months, and years to come.

How much are you willing to pay for GTA 6? (Rockstar)A report on the state of the games industry posits theories on how to improve growth, with one of them being a price hike for GTA 6.Whether or not video games are too expensive nowadays has been a long running argument, especially after the launches of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X saw most publishers bump the prices of their biggest games up to 70/$70.It wasnt the most popular decision among gamers, back in 2020, especially with those who felt even 60/$60 was pushing it. But other publishers, like Ubisoft, have followed suit over the years, saying that its needed to account for rising development costs.There have been arguments that even that is too low an asking price and there have been rumours before that GTA 6 could launch for upwards of $100, which would almost certainly mean 100 in the UK.How much will GTA 6 cost?As it stands, publisher Take-Two has yet to announce pricing for GTA 6 and likely wont until much closer to its planned autumn 2025 release.The common assumption is that GTA 6 would cost 70/$70, especially since Take-Two was among the first to adopt this price point, although theyll no doubt be various special editions available at a higher price.However, in a recent presentation about the current state of the games industry, analyst Matthew Ball claims there is hope among some game makers that GTA 6 will cost anywhere from $80 to $100. While thats roughly 65 to 82 in the UK, any such pricing would no doubt be converted to 80 to 100 over here.This comes from a segment of the presentation where Ball discusses potential avenues the industry can pursue to improve its flagging growth. GTA 6 naturally gets its own section, and its argued that if it can be sold for $80 or more, then it would help raise prices for other games. $50 games would go up to $60, $60 games would go up to $70, etc.Ball does stress this is only a possibility, but if any game could get away with it, it would be GTA 6. Plus, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has already said big budget video games should be more expensive depending on how long they are and GTA 6 is unlikely to be a short experience.Whats unclear is where Ball got the figures of $100 from, as while he implies it came from other publishers the rumour of a more expensive GTA 6 has been circulating for years now, after seemingly having originated from a single, unsubstantiated tweet in 2023. Whether Balls publisher contacts are simply repeating a variation of that rumour is uncertain.More TrendingAn industry wide video game price hike is unlikely to increase growth though, just revenue and profits. Gaming as a whole is competing with other forms of entertainment, with social media platforms like TikTok being a prime example. Making games more expensive is hardly going to make them more attractive and risks driving away regular consumers.Plus, weve already seen how the bump to 70/$70 hasnt been entirely beneficial. Insomniac Games Spider-Man 2 sold for that much and despite breaking sales records, it was discovered to have underperformed, which in turn led to redundancies.Interestingly, Saber Interactives CEO Matthew Karch previously argued the opposite of Balls theory, believing that studios will find ways to reduce development costs and thus make games cheaper to buy.Theres ultimately no telling how things will pan out for the industry in the next few years, but GTA 6s launch will undeniably cause a massive shake-up whether it costs $70 or $100.

Rugged phones get a bad rap. They get written off as some novelty act, a bulky behemoth that should only show its face on a construction site or in a military capacity. But Doogee, a Chinese company, sees beyond a few niche cases to bring us the Doogee S200, a mid-tier smartphone with some serious ruggedness but enough features to brush fingertips with the flagship category. Available for as low as $229 in AliExpress or $339 on Amazon, the S200 is almost a steal with its extreme durability, near all-day battery life, and features that youd expect on a premium-grade smartphone. However, there are a few caveats. For instance, since this phone isnt marketed towards the U.S. market, it wont work on some of the 5G networks on some of the bigger carriers. And the performance, while good, doesnt match up to other mid-tier phones. But somehow, it manages to run some of the most taxing games surprisingly well. However, the S200 is inexpensive for those looking for a tough smartphone with ridiculous endurance and performance that will surprise them. Doogee S200 The Doogee S200 brings rugged durability and excellent battery life to a strong gaming phone for under $500. Pros Cons Doogee S200 Review: Design Photo: Adriano Contreras/Gizmodo Is that a case? Whys it so heavy? You could use this thing as a weapon! These are the common responses I got from everyone I showed the Doogee S200. And while placing the smartphone in a sturdy sock and using it as a makeshift blackjack is an intriguing idea, its not what the S200 is for. As someone whos wrecked a phone or two in her life, Im a fan of the phones bulk. Its a sign of its innate toughness. The phone has IP68, IP69K, and MIL-STD 810 ratings. That means the phone is waterproof and dustproof. Its also drop-proof and can withstand falls from 5.9 feet (1.8 meters). It even has covers over the USB-C port to prevent water or dust from getting in. The display is made of Corning Gorilla Glass to prevent scratches.Admittedly, that added protection does add quite a bit of bulk. The 7.1 x 3.23 x 0.63-inch device weighs in at a chunky 12.9 ounces. It makes the Google Pixel 9 (7 ounces, 6 x 2.8 x 0.3 inches), Samsung Galaxy S24 SE (7.5 ounces, 6.4 x 3 x 0.31 inches), Nothing Phone (2a) Plus (6.7 ounces, 6.4 x 3 x 0.33 inches), and iPhone 16 (6 ounces, 5.8 x 2.8 x 0.31 inches) seem like featherweight in comparison.Chonkiness notwithstanding, the Doogee has mech-based design thats sure to appeal to Gundam, Transformers, and Power Rangers fans, The aerospace-grade alloy rear panel colored black and pewter gray is made up of a series of sharp angles that recede into gentle slopes. The centerpiece of the design is what Doogee calls a sub-screen. Its like the Dynamic Island found on modern iPhones, just in a more convenient location (More on that later). The 1.3-inch circular AMOLED mini display is flanked on both sides by four chambers that house the camera sensors. Photo: Adriano Contreras/Gizmodo The phone continues the mecha-look with four prominent screws running down the sides. The volume and fingerprint reader/power buttons sit on the right, with the dual SIM card tray and a button that users can customize for three separate actions one for single, double, and triple presses. The USB-C charging port sits at the bottom of the phone, hidden beneath a rubber gasket.The front of the phone consists mostly of a display surrounded by rather thick bezels, particularly on the top and bottom. A teardrop camera protrudes ever so slightly into the top of the display. Although the black-and-gray colorway is cool, I wish I could have gotten my hands on either the green-and-yellow versions, as I love a pop of color. Doogee S200X Review: Display Its not OLED or even AMOLED, but Ill still take the S200Xs 6.7-inch IPS LCD screen. As I watched the second second of Squid Game, I saw every drop of blood splatter as it left the bodies of the unlucky contestants. The deep red offered a lurid contrast against the cheerful rainbow-painted floors in the Six Legs episode on the 2400 x 1080 display. Of course, its not as vivid as the aforementioned screens, but for the price, Im not going to pooh-pooh what the S200 has to offer.Photo: Adriano Contreras/Gizmodo The screen isnt as bright as the Pixel 9, but I had no problem reading articles in direct sunlight. Games like Dead Cells and Zenless Zone Zero ran smoothly with the auto-refresh rate that automatically ramps the rate from the standard 60Hz to 120Hz when gaming or working on something particularly taxing. Doogee also included a barebones Game Mode that aggregates all your games and disables notifications. Lets talk about the sub-screen. Its a really useful way to interact with certain apps and phone functions without engaging with the main display. In addition to the clock, you can read notifications, control your designated music app, check battery life, snap a photo, answer calls, and a few other helpful features.Doogee S200 Review: UI and Performance Unlike other Android phones, Doogee runs stock AndroidAndroid 14. The 2.2-GHz octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 7050 processor, 12GB RAM, and 256GB of onboard storage are pretty spry, allowing for zippy navigation between apps and home screens. I only saw a slight hint of slowdown when I started playing Zenless Zone Zero, and thats after I launched 50 Google Chrome pages, several G-Suite apps, BlueSky, and Threads. It should be noted that the smartphone is listed with 32GB of RAM. Thats because Doogee has mapped some of the 256GB to the RAM to fool the system into thinking it has more capacity to install applications. Even though the S200 hasnt made the leap to Android 15 (and Im not sure that it ever will), you still get a host of features from the previous OS, such as more customization on the lock and home screens. You also get better security and data protection, such as using biometric authentication instead of passwords for more apps. Speaking of apps, theres Toolbag, which is a collection of apps that harkens to the phones construction tool potential. Theres a Protractor, Plumb Bob, and Level. Doogee also threw the Pedometer, NFC Card Emulator, and Mirror in there, which is a bit confusing.When I ran Geekbench 6, the S200 returned a single-core score of 990 and a multi-core score of 2,471. This is a solid score, but it doesnt match the Nothing Phone (2a) (1,198/2,824), the Pixel 9 (1,699/4,241), or the iPhone 16 ( 3,412 and 8,416). Doogee S200 Review: Camera Doogee outfitted the S200 with an impressive gathering of cameras and features. The main shooter is 100MP with a 20MP night vision camera and a 2MP macro sensor. The pictures I captured had good color, but the details can sometimes be fuzzy. The layers of wasp nest l took on a cloudy day arent as sharp as I expected. The same goes for a bouquet of glitter-dipped roses. Still, I was impressed with how well the phone captured my dogs fur even though one was in motion as she was licking her sister. Photo: Sherri L. Smith/DreamSmith LLC Photo: Sherri L. Smith/DreamSmith LLC Photo: Sherri L. Smith/DreamSmith LLC Photo: Sherri L. Smith/DreamSmith LLC Photo: Sherri L. Smith/DreamSmith LLC Photo: Sherri L. Smith/DreamSmith LLC Photo: Sherri L. Smith/DreamSmith LLC Photo: Sherri L. Smith/DreamSmith LLC Photo: Sherri L. Smith/DreamSmith LLC But my favorite shots by far are the night vision shots. Thats right, night vision. Although it made me look like something out of a horror film, the mode was great for capturing my dogs shenanigans in near-pitch black darkness. Theres also an underwater mode, but since the phone isnt designed for scuba diving or deep immersion, Im not sure what youll photograph. The 20MP selfie cam was a bit too good, capturing more than a few of my gray hairs and colorful locs. I really like how many camera modes the S200 offers. Aside from Night Vision, theres Beauty, 100MP, Super Night, GIF, and Mono, to name a few. But I was missing the option to hit wide or ultrawide shots. The phone also lacks optical stabilization, only offering digital,l which is part of why some of your images details arent as sharp as they should be. The Night Vision and Macro cameras do just that, leaving that poor 100MP sensor to do all the heavy lifting. And maybe I shouldnt be complaining when the phone is so undeniably cheap, but if other similarly priced phones can do it, I cant help but notice.Doogee S200 Review: Battery The S200 has plenty of good features, but the best by far has to be the battery life. Its 10,100mAH battery lasts almost 24 hours, at 23:12, when playing a 24-hour YouTube video at 50% brightness. The phone has Quick Charge 3.0, which means the S200 can achieve a 50% charge in only 30 minutes. And if youre in a pinch, you can use the S200 as a charging brick with its reverse charge feature. Photo: Adriano Contreras/Gizmodo But Doogee, I have a bone to pick with you. Why, oh why, do you have a big ole plate on the back of the phone with what looks to be lightning bolts? I thought it meant that the S200 has wireless charging capabilities. But imagine my surprise when I placed the phone on not one, but two different wireless chargers and got bupkis. Then I thought it was NFC, but thats not it.Doogee S200 Review: Verdict Should you buy the Doogee S200? It depends. The S200 has a lot going for itself. Its super rugged and durable, has great performance, and even better battery life. The rear sub-screen adds some convenient functionality, and man, that Night Vision is just cool. And you really cant beat that price. But Im not sure how many people would willingly settle for 4G in a 5G era. Plus, the cameras with all its features could be better, and Im not sure that Android 15 will ever come to the S200. But for people looking for a rough, tough, semi-premium flagship phone for under $500, the Doogee S200s competitors are few and far between.
