In an insightful interview for The Good Men Project with Scott Douglas Jacobsen, Jerome Glenn, CEO of The Millennium Project, shares his perspectives on the future and the role of futurists in shaping it. Glenn, a leading voice in global foresight, discusses how technology, governance, and decision-making will impact humanity’s ability to tackle critical global challenges.

In the interview, Jerome Glenn clarifies that “futurism” refers to a historical art movement, whereas “futurists” should maintain open-mindedness and avoid rigid ideologies. He discusses The Millennium Project’s transition from its UN ties to an independent status and emphasizes the urgency of managing artificial general intelligence (AGI) before it becomes uncontrollable. Glenn also addresses the potential for autonomous AI to develop incomprehensible ethical systems and warns against using speculative predictions unethically. He critiques futurist media’s focus on apocalyptic scenarios, suggesting that a balance of problem-solving and exploring positive futures could improve outcomes.
