Generative AI is reshaping the creative field, stirring ethical debates, copyright challenges, and reigniting age-old questions about the very essence of creativity. We present four scenarios that explore how these forces may shape the sector’s future.

How can AI enhance - and perhaps disrupt - the landscape of foresight work in the years and decades ahead?

2022 was a year of great upheaval and change, with a series of political and economic crises that will reverberate for many years to come. Looking back to the year, our team of futurists highlight five trends that shaped the trajectory of 2022 and will continue to shape the future.

Will artificial intelligence bring an end to the traditional labour market? Fears of mass technological unemployment have a powerful impact on economical policies, but modern economic theory suggests that these fears might be misplaced.

Thanks to rapid technological advances, it may one day be possible to track, measure and even modify our emotions. While the technology is still in its nascent phase, brain-computer interfaces may be a game-changer in mental health, entertainment, and advertisement industries.

Although it is no news anymore that AI is better than us humans at spotting patterns across large data sets, machine intelligence is still not advanced enough to understand correlation and causality, which are among humans’ strong suits. Joining these two forces can help organisations streamline foresight processes and save time.

In our new article series, we zoom in on some specific areas and industries in the world that will emerge after the COVID-19 pandemic. This second instalment focuses on the future of education in the post-COVID-19 world. The article is based on an analysis by Futures Platform, with insight from the acclaimed Futurist Speaker Thomas Frey and Futures Platform’s Foresight Manager Marianna Mäki-Teeri.

What role will Artificial Intelligence (AI) have in the workforce? How will economies and capitalism change in the future? In our webinar, Sitra’s Leading Foresight Analyst Mikko Dufva and Futures Platform’s Content Director Tuomo Kuosa discuss these themes and more.

Back in 2014, Ray Kurzweil, famous futurist and "Googler," made a stark prediction: by 2029, we would have human-like computers. Now, only a decade away, we look at whether this prediction still makes sense.

Almost everything we do involves some sort of decision. We don't usually break down problems into all its constituents. Fortunately, artificial intelligence can be our friend - let's look at different ways in which it will help us with decision making in the future.

Programming was considered in the 60s and 70s a "geek activity," today it has become one of the high-paying jobs. But programmers are no less susceptible than everyone else when it comes to losing their jobs. In this article, we ask the question, "will programmers still have a job in the future?”

In this article, we go through the future of work, through 4 prisms: industry and manufacturing; automation, AI, and robotics; business and value chains; and work and income.
