From Prediction To Foresight: The Reality Of Arab Futures Studies In Light Of The Digital Revolution And Artificial Intelligence

Authors : Djokhdem Moussa .

Abstract

The concept of the future has evolved, as has the outlook on it, with the development of human thought. Future studies have come to occupy an important position in the public policies of developed countries, where thousands of think tanks have been established, tasked with anticipating the future. These centers have worked to complete numerous future studies in various fields, thus becoming the driving force behind and guiding the behavior of countries internally and externally. In contrast, the countries of the Arab world have remained on the margins of these transformations, with the exception of some modest efforts in this field. The nature of the challenges and stakes that the countries of the Arab world will face in the future makes the activation of future studies in Arab policies more than inevitable, dictated by a set of considerations: domestic, regional, and international.
