Way forward

Recommendations and Plans with Partners: the emergence of new digital technologies and digital solutions give the potential to prevent and reduce risks from our increasingly complex Global Security Threats to human survival. Moreover, existing digital solutions and emerging technologies can enable the transformation of the provision of services that protect, prevent and promote resilience and the well-being of the planet and people based upon a peaceful foundation. Below are specific recommendations for the main components that make up the systems framework for the Global Futures Platform for Planet People and Peace:

  • Planet: apply AI and emerging technology to comprehensive foresight and risk analysis to identify critical tipping points and to design cost effective nature based systems interventions as part of an emergency response and recovery ‘Plan for the Planet’.

  • People: develop a global pandemic app that allows for early intervention, with a rapid response with interoperable anonymous data sharing for effective, integrated and coordinated prevention of future pandemics; designed to be flexibly adapted according to different challenges, community and country settings; apply digital technology to model synthetic biological opportunities to minimise the risks related to unintentional release of infections with pandemic potential.

  • Peace: apply existing digital solutions for the identification of risks factors for conflicts to allow for strategic early interventions for the prevention of violence, conflicts and wars to inform an integrated ‘Plan for Peace’, including the application of digital firewalls to enhance security for the control and prevention of nuclear catastrophes.

  • Governance: apply and adapt existing digital solutions to improve coordination and communication, accountable and quality assured digital interventions that are cost effective and enhance accessibility as part of a global good; apply technological solutions to assist in the governance of emerging technologies including AI and Artifical General Intelligence.

  • Knowledge: apply existing indicators to develop an integrated ‘Index for the Vital Determinants of Life’ that combines and transfers learning from the essential determinants of life forms, including humans to that of our Earth’s life systems to aid in our collective survival.

  • Capacity: create a massive open-access online curriculum (MOOC) for leaders to prevent and reduce risks from Existential Security Threats to Humanity. These could be taken as stand alone micro-units, or as a complete course with the integration of training and standards into professional development programmes; the platform could support on-line leadership mentoring, networks, high level meetings and events.

  • Advocacy: design an AI newsletter that provides regular updates on existential security threats, disseminated to an alliance of partners for the planet, people and peace; enable knowledge sharing and empower young people and communities through the development of a multi-media advocacy campaign to engage partners from around the world in scaling up collaborative action to create the world that we want.
