A revolution is underway. Not only in some areas, but a groundswell across the global economy as strands converge and combine through the power of AI. A new economy is being created where intelligence is abundant, energy unlimited, and resource management optimised to provide for everyone; all driven by the new power we’re seeing in mathematics.
For decades, mathematics has been transforming and empowering the landscape of international finance. Now, artificial intelligence is opening new horizons that will benefit the many, not just the few.
The way we think about finance, innovation, education, and work will change in ways we couldn’t have imagined a few short years ago.
The new economy will be constantly changing, as needs dictate. Professions, and practitioners, will be in flux, according to need. Education and training will be a constant, as the economy shifts to meet demand. The institutions involved in these aspects will be integral in facilitating the required workforce to maintain supply. The work of FIT and the Fields Institute is already transforming its approach to envision and design this exciting future.
The United Nations University is already establishing a new initiative, Mathematics for Sustainability. The development of sustainable finance is key to the evolution and maintenance of this new economy. An economy designed to benefit all people, combining human imagination and artificial intelligence, and built on mathematics.
