Relying solely on short-term metrics and political rankings ignores the broader direction and implications of current events. While such measurements provide immediate insights, they mask the potential pitfalls or opportunities inherent in the long-term journey. A thorough understanding requires us to consider the larger context, such as the implications of climate change and the evolution of technology and AI. Viewing technology as an extension of humanity emphasizes its role in shaping our future, demanding a deeper and more nuanced analysis rather than a superficial assessment.
We are biologically wired to focus on the near-term, and that’s often a good thing. But in this moment — with global conflict, fast-evolving tech, and climate change dominating our present — we need to also prioritize long-term impacts. Futurist Ari Wallach joins Rapid Response host Bob Safian to dive into our biological and business motivations around what he calls “futuring.” Host of the new PBS docuseries, A Brief History of the Future, Wallach shares lessons from the longest-standing corporations on Earth, why he views AI as “immortal algorithms,” and how business leaders must embrace the moral imperative of their business as a core KPI.
