Geopolitical, geo-economic and social stresses are building up everywhere. The AI revolution opens a new chapter in human history. Recent conflicts show that many unthinkables have become thinkable. We must expect discontinuities even though we often can’t predict where or when they appear. There are both dangers and opportunities. The lecture will discuss our best response to inevitable uncertainties as countries, corporations and individuals.
