AI, What Does the Future Hold for Us? Automating Strategic Foresight
Pages 247 - 248
Abstract
There is an increasing awareness that strategic foresight is much needed to guide efficient policy-making. The growing digitalization implies a rising amount of digital evidence of many aspects of society (e.g., science, economy, and politics). Artificial intelligence can process massive amounts of data and extract meaningful information. Furthermore, a knowledge graph can be developed to capture significant aspects of reality, and machine learning models can be used to identify patterns and derive insights. This paper describes how we envision artificial intelligence could be used to create and deliver strategic foresight automatically.
