This presentation is an excerpt from a recent online event I did with ‪@LondonFuturists‬ see    • Take Back Tomorrow with Gerd Leonhard   for the entire show (a must watch!)

In this hard-hitting presentation I reflect on the shifts in global futures over the 2 years, emphasizing the emergence of what I call ‘the bad future' see www.thebadfuture.com for more details – it's the antidote to my core theme of #thegoodfuture 🙂

I speak about key challenges such as the rapid and painful degradation of America's democratic principles and the resulting decline of the global world order, and the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence that is now turning into an AGI arms-race (also blessed by the commander-in-chief) Read more

In this talk I argue that sadly, the U.S. is no longer leading the global effort to achieve a ‘good future'. I urge Europe to come together to save The Good Future from being cancelled. By advocating for human-centered AI, for strategic autonomy and technological sovereignty and a new global alliance of trust that is not depending on the U.S., I propose a paradigm shift from profit and growth-focused ‘Milton Friedman' capitalism to one centered on people, planet, purpose, peace, and prosperity (my 5ps)
