 Complexities are increasing all the time and the research I'm interested in is trying to combine emerging technologies with the sustainability agenda. I think combining two such broad issues I think it's quite evident that we need better capability of foresighting. Current technological advances are expected to bring economic, social and political transformations of an unprecedented scale. Advances in areas such as artificial intelligence, communication technologies, robotics, biotechnology and material science are set to change our future. Foresight capabilities and emerging technologies is one of the prioritized research themes of MISTRA geopolitics. One part, helping international organizations and states make sense of and use the potential of these technologies to achieve the 2030 agenda for sustainable development. AI has the potential to really work as a shifter of geopolitical balances in the sense that it gives the opportunities for countries to really leapfrog development. Taking a significant jump in this technology, so instead of having to go through all the development phases that other countries have been doing, they can directly go to what is the latest technology, what is the most effective way of solving these sustainability challenges that we are facing. I think it's important that we from the sustainability community start to look at emerging technology with fresh eyes. A concrete example of an AI application which has been used to significantly reduce the energy consumption is actually in these big data centers where they use machine learning to optimize the usage of energy and then they could reduce the energy consumption by 30%, which of course is a major achievement. When it comes to Sweden, looking into our most exciting companies, we see a lot going on in the green transition. Not least if we look up in the northern part of Sweden where we see this green industrialization, new industrialization where you take advantage of new technologies in combination with the resources that we have. How do we make sure that this technology benefits everyone or at least as many people as possible? And I really think this is one of the major risks that we will not see this widespread adoption. There are three very important critical elements that needs to be in place in order for us to fulfill the UN 2030 agenda. Technologies, especially forward-looking emerging technologies are nowhere to be found in the agenda as it is written right now. This is extremely important to add that component to the agenda. The second part that is missing is actually geopolitical considerations between nation states that are there to fulfill the agenda. It is states that have signed the agenda in the human system and it's states that needs to deliver on the agenda. Still geopolitical aspects are not there to find anywhere in the agenda. Thirdly I think we need to increase our capability to look forward because the agenda is explicitly forward-looking, looking into 2030, painting this grand vision of a sustainable future. In order to achieve that future we need to explore different future pathways to that future and assess those different pathways, pros and cons, trade-offs and synergies in order to fulfill the agenda and the strategies. We in Mystery of Politics can help just a little in order to navigate this very complex policy space and people from the policy community come to us for advice. I will be very, very proud for being part of this research program.
