Artificial intelligence (AI) poses three main threats to human health and wellbeing: Hyperagentic interference is preventable Hyperagentic interference is the extreme scenario, but it is already happening. Reporting around the planning for military strikes against Iran suggests some targeting decisions were made by AI systems—due in part to excess deference to those systems making lists of potential targets. The AI…

Even if we remain skeptical, a reflexive mistrust of evidence can still be an erosion in critical thinking capability; in fact, that is the lever that is used to spread political division and to prevent people from accessing…
Adaptive design thinking can rewire systems for success
With disaster costs reaching record levels, draining more and more money from public budgets and consumers’ pockets, we need to go beyond solutions. We need adaptive design thinking—oriented toward adaptive management of future risks and shock events, and toward the likely need to adjust course, innovate, and rapidly re-orient policies and investments to avoid maladaptation.
The Resilient Prosperity Forum
In 2026, the Resilient Prosperity Forum will host a series of multistakeholder discussions, connecting leaders and stakeholders, to examine themes ranging from vulnerability and risk reduction to climate banking innovation, access to information and the effects of artificial intelligence technologies on economies and societies, and cooperative strategies for climate-resilient development.
The purpose of the Active Value project is to develop the multidimensional metrics and multistakeholder consortium needed to make AVTR a fully functional, actionable insight platform, to inform decisions by consumers, government, investors, and institutions.
