From the escalating impacts of climate change and pollution to the unsettling decline in global intelligence, we examine how these challenges could alter the course of human progress. We also discuss the risks of an aging population without effective knowledge transfer, the ever-present danger of warfare—especially nuclear conflict—and the ethical dilemmas surrounding artificial intelligence.
