Signal The report states its policy implications are not predictions and the list is not exhaustive

Summary

This signal sets out how the report wants its policy implications to be read. The changes it describes are reshaping how geopolitics, technology and economics interact, and could upset assumptions behind core policies in security, international relations, economics, and values and ethics. The implications that follow were chosen for the range of plausible futures they illustrate and for their relevance to policy making. The report stresses that they are not predictions. Nor do they represent futures that are expected or desired, and the list is not meant to be exhaustive. Readers are encouraged to use them to test assumptions and weigh trade-offs among regulation, innovation, rights, growth and international influence.
