New Video on Global Challenge 14: Science and Technology

A new video on Global Challenge 14: How can scientific and technological breakthroughs be accelerated to improve the human condition? has been released as part of The Millennium Project’s series on the 15 Global Challenges included in the recent State of the Future 20.0 publication, courtesy of the France Node.

The video on Global Challenge 14 shows that a global collective intelligence system is essential for sharing scientific and technological advancements to benefit humanity. Rapid developments in AI, robotics, and quantum technology are expected to transform lives in the next 25 years. Global R&D investment is projected to reach $2.53 trillion by 2024, with significant contributions from countries like China and Israel. However, the rapid pace of innovation raises concerns about security and environmental impacts, highlighting the need for a comprehensive technology assessment system to manage risks and inform policy, as conventional discourse often fails to keep up with scientific progress.

We will release a video on the 15 global challenges every Monday as a premiere on our YouTube channel ! Join the conversation as we explore how to turn around these trends and secure a sustainable future for all.
