Ep 6: Looking Back to Look Ahead: The World in 2050, Feat. Hamish McRae

Renowned British journalist and prominent European futurist, Hamish McRae joins host Anirudh Suri as they delve into what the world will look like in 2050, by also examining how history has played out over the last few centuries. This fascinating, big picture discussion revolves around the rapid evolution of technology, particularly artificial intelligence, and its potential impact on the world economies up to 2050, with a focus on countries like the U.S., China, and India. The discussion extends to the dynamics of global geopolitics, including underlying power shifts and possible future U.S. relations with Russia and China. McRae highlights the significant growth of India's services industry and the emergence of middle classes, discussing the importance of shifting global mindsets towards a multipolar world. The conversation also stresses the importance of recognizing and respecting the cultural histories of nations, and celebrating shared economic wins, rather than striving for a singular 'global winner'.#GlobalPolitics #Technology #Geopolitics #ArtificialIntelligence #HamishMcRae #AnirudhSuri #TheGreatTechGame #TheWorldin2050 #India #China #UnitedStates
