Can We Control Artificial Intelligence?

Managing Population Decline and Helping Younger Generations Invest for the Long Term To make our pension system sustainable amid falling birth rates, we need to take several steps – starting with stopping the constant rule changes and avoiding any further hikes in social security contributions. A better approach is to slow the decline in the number of contributors through a mix of policies, including public support for those who are not self-sufficient and stronger oversight of all pension schemes, especially professional pension funds.

In the vacuum left by the United States, Europe can lead an alliance of middle powers Like all populists, Trump knows how to destroy, not how to rebuild. In just fifteen months, he has driven a wedge between the United States and its longtime allies, sparked new conflicts, dismantled the international order, and weakened American democracy. To avoid ending up on the “imperial menu” invoked by the Canadian prime minister at Davos, middle powers must forge new balances and new forms of global cooperation in managing shared resources and conflicts. Europe is the natural candidate to lead this effort. As a successful model of genuine multilateralism, it has already demonstrated its capacity for coordinated action. At a time when external security has once again become a central concern, Europe’s social welfare model can also prove to be a strategic asset.
