According to Yuval Noah Harari, there is a risk that the AI revolution could create unprecedented inequalities not only between classes, but also between countries. Why is this risk not addressed more seriously by policy-makers and political leaders? To what extent and how is AI and big data likely to contribute to better apprehend and mitigate global risks in the future? Michael Kende, Ph.D. in economics (MIT) and Visiting Lecturer at the Geneva Graduate Institute, answers these questions for the webzine Global Challenges no. 8 | Nov. 2020 entitled The new frontiers of risk. Podcast produced by Marc Galvin and Michelle Olguin for the Research Office (Geneva Graduate Institute).
