Trend AI-driven technological acceleration and the platform economy produce 'growth amid confusion'

Summary

Alongside the regression of the world order, the plan identifies a second defining feature of the era, which it calls endless change. It points to the accelerating AI-based revolution in science and technology, the full flowering of the platform economy and the growing influence of collective intelligence as the information society advances. Because of these forces the plan describes the global economy as growing in the midst of confusion. It also argues that the new economy linked to this technological revolution carries a built-in winner-take-all tendency. The plan therefore links endless change to its call for institutional reform to soften that tendency.
