In this hard-hitting new video, I start with the assertion that #thegoodfuture will no longer come from the United States. It is heart-wrenching to observe that the U.S. is rapidly shifting toward what can only be called “the bad future”: power and might over purpose and collective benefit, reckless techno-optimism and greed fuelling a dangerous AI arms-race, and transactional, brute-force diplomacy over trust and collaboration.

I see a strong connection between America's political decline into autocracy and the systematic weakening of important global institutions such as the U.N., on the one hand, and the rise of unaccountable AI empires and the reckless acceleration toward superintelligence i.e. #artificialgeneralintelligence, on the other hand.

I believe that Europe must urgently ‘Take back tomorrow” in 2026 by – among many other things – disengaging from the longstanding US domination and resisting The Don's path of #thebadfuture, by building human-centered AI as a strategic advantage, by bolstering technological sovereignty without isolation, by investing in uniquely human capacities (what I call the #androrithms), by leading a new global alliance of trust with partners beyond US politics, and by redefining success beyond GDP through “5P” economics: people, planet, purpose, peace, and prosperity.
