LA QUINTA REVOLUCIÓN TECNOLÓGICA (5RT) YA ESTÁ CERCA, ESTAREMOS PREPARADOS PARA INSERTARNOS EN ELLA?
Se realizó en Emiratos Árabes Unidos el Dubai Future Forum, organizado por la Dubai Future Foundation, quien invitó a más de 500 futuristas de todo el mundo para conversar sobre el futuro de la Humanidad en los próximos años. Lo que pude sacar como conclusión de estos dos días, es que la Quinta Revolución Tecnológica (5RT) está ya muy cerca, posiblemente haga su aparición antes o durante el 2030. De la misma forma en que la 4RT nació de la convergencia tecnológica NBIC (Nano-Bio-Info-Cogno)(*), que ha producido hasta el momento unas cuatro generaciones de tecnologías trasformadoras, la 5RT se producirá por la convergencia de 4 grupos de tecnologías: La inteligencia artificial general, La computación cuántica, Las tecnologías NetZero, La biología cuántica.

HOW PAKISTANS FLOOD CRISIS BENDS CLIMATE TALKS TOWARDS REPARATIONS
Together, the US and China have created enough atmospheric impact to cost the world about $1.8 trillion. The US alone was responsible for 16.5% of global GDP losses from climate change from 1990 to 2014, according to research by the Dartmouth team. (Check out the full story in Bloomberg Green to see the eye-opening graphics explaining this economic research as well as satellite data tracking the destruction in Pakistan. Few countries are as vulnerable as Pakistan. Its cities regularly record some of the hottest temperatures in the world, including a springtime heat wave this year made 30 times more likely by greenhouse gases). E. Roson

CAPITAL FLOWS TO LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN FIRST EIGHT MONTHS OF 2022
Against a backdrop of tightening global financing conditions, total Latin American and Caribbean bond issuance in international markets in the first eight months of 2022 was down more than 50% from the same period in 2021. International bond issuance of environmental, social and governance (ESG) bonds —including green, social, sustainability and sustainability-linked bonds— from the region also slowed in the first eight months of 2022, albeit less markedly than total issuance. The share of these bonds in the region’s total issuance increased to 34% from 31% in the year-earlier period.

HOW WE DEFEAT THE AGRICULTURAL GREAT RESET
Russell Brand interviews environmental activist and author, Vandana Shiva. Dr. Shiva explains how the mainstream media have distorted the Dutch Farmer protests, claiming that shutting down small farms utilizing chemical fertilizers is the solution to the environmental and climate crisis. But the global elite, using the rhetoric of a Great Reset, and the strategy of “divide and rule,” are actually carrying out a 21st Century colonial land grab, driving small farmers and ranchers off the land, promising that pesticides, GMOs, lab food, and big data will make us healthy, happy and prosperous.

MANY AMERICANS SAY THEY HAVE SHIFTED THEIR PRIORITIES AROUND HEALTH AND SOCIAL ACTIVITIES DURING COVID19
The coronavirus outbreak has transformed many aspects of public life since 2020, including how Americans work, go to school and attend religious services. Respondents in our recent survey described – in their own words – how their priorities changed during the pandemic. Around a quarter of those who responded (26%) said keeping healthy became more important to them. Many respondents (21%) talked about their renewed appreciation for social activities, but 35% said socializing and going out had decreased in priority for them. PeW

DESLOCAMENTO GLOBAL ATINGE NOVO RECORDE E REFORÇA TENDÊNCIA DE CRESCIMENTO DA ÚLTIMA DÉCADA
Apesar de alguns sinais de progresso, a velocidade e a escala do deslocamento forçado estão além das soluções para pessoas refugiadas. Ao final de 2021, o número de pessoas deslocadas por guerras, violência, perseguições e abusos de direitos humanos chegou a 89,3 milhões (um crescimento de 8% em relação ao ano anterior e bem mais que o dobro verificado há 10 anos), de acordo com o relatório “Tendências Globais”, uma publicação estatística anual do ACNUR. Desde então, a invasão da Ucrânia pela Rússia – que causou a mais veloz e uma das maiores crises de deslocamento forçado de pessoas desde a Segunda Guerra Mundial – e outras emergências humanitárias, da África ao Afeganistão e além, elevaram este número para a marca dramática de 100 milhões.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IS CREATING A NEW COLONIAL WORLD ORDER
This story is the introduction to MIT Technology Review’s series on AI colonialismo. Over the last few years, an increasing number of scholars have argued that the impact of AI is repeating the patterns of colonial history. European colonialism, they say, was characterized by the violent capture of land, extraction of resources, and exploitation of people—for example, through slavery—for the economic enrichment of the conquering country. While it would diminish the depth of past traumas to say the AI industry is repeating this violence today, it is now using other, more insidious means to enrich the wealthy and powerful at the great expense of the poor.

IN THE US AND AROUND THE WORLD INFLATION IS HIGH AND GETTING HIGHER
BY DREW DESILVER
Two years ago, with millions of people out of work and central bankers and politicians striving to lift the U.S. economy out of a pandemic-induced recession, inflation seemed like an afterthought. A year later, with unemployment falling and the inflation rate rising, many of those same policymakers insisted that the price hikes were “transitory” – a consequence of snarled supply chains, labor shortages and other issues that would right themselves sooner rather than later.

RETHINKING CRITICAL SOCIETAL SYSTEMS – Can a Common Global Agenda Help?
Futurists have always warned that, one day, each of our critical systems will stop being fit for purpose and that we have to think ahead about what comes next. What’s striking from our conversations with clients around the world today is how many of these systems seem to be running out of steam at roughly the same time – nationally and globally. In many parts of the world we can see what seem to be quite serious fault lines appearing in critical systems that form part of our societal infrastructure. At the same time there are lots of indicators that there is hope on the horizon.

WORK/TECHNOLOGY: 2050 Scenarios and Actions
Report on a three-year international study that produced three detailed scenarios, conducted 30 national workshops in 29 countries, identified hundreds of action distilled to 93 that were assessed by hundreds of futurists and related experts in over 50 countries. Income gaps are widening, the concentration of wealth is increasing, jobless economic growth seems the new norm, and return on investment in capital and technology is usually better than in labor. As labor costs go up and AI and robot costs go down, manufacturing and service unemployment rates are expected to increase. Three scenarios are: It’s Complicated—A Mixed Bag, Political/Economic Turmoil—Future Despair, If Humans Were Free—The Self-Actualization Economy. MP

UPDATE TO LIMITS TO GROWTH Comparing the World3 model with empirical data
In the 1972 bestseller Limits to Growth (LtG), the authors concluded that, if global society kept pursuing economic growth, it would experience a decline in food production, industrial output, and ultimately population, within this century. The LtG authors used a system dynamics model to study interactions between global variables, varying model assumptions to generate different scenarios. Previous empirical-data comparisons since then by Turner showed closest alignment with a scenario that ended in collapse. Gaya Herrington

COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE TO SOLVE THE MEGACRISIS
In short, I think the world is heading toward some type of historic shift in consciousness, a collective epiphany, a code of global ethics, a spiritual revolution, a political paradigm shift or a new mindset. Without a consciousness based on global unity, cooperation and other essential beliefs, there seems little hope. And with a shift to global consciousness, it all seems possible.
