Commentary on Spyros Makridakis's article "Forecasting the Impact of Artificial Intelligence"

Owen Davies

Foresight: The International Journal of Applied Forecasting, 2019, issue 52, 44-47

Abstract: Foresight's five-part article "Forecasting the Impact of Artificial Intelligence" by Spyros Makridakis was published in consecutive issues from Fall 2017 through Fall 2018 and is compiled as a Special Feature in the Fall 2018 Document Store listing. The introduction to that article was written by Owen Davies, Executive Editor of TechCast Global. In the Fall 2017 issue, Owen noted: While not ignoring the risks that AI brings with it, Professor Makridakis believes that the world ahead will not be the dystopia that pessimists fear. Neither will it be utopian. Instead it will be a mix of benefits and liabilities, and making sure that the former outweigh the latter is one of the difficult challenges we now face. Now, Owen provides a coda to the feature article, augmenting key predictions from Spyros on employment impacts, blockchain, intelligence augmentation, and the art of technological forecasting with the expert opinions gathered in TechCast's Delphi forecasts.
