Futures No Industry Unaffected Like the PC revolution and the expansion of the internet, the implications for sentient tools will affect nearly every industry; travel/mobility and transport, defense, manufacturing, medical, construction, agriculture, customer service, finance, as well as the entire ICT and smart cities sectors will disrupted as a result of the sentient tools. Employment Radically Changes The nature of human labor changes, unlike the other technology revolutions, which created technology-related jobs. The age off sentient tools is expected to create demand for non-technological skills along with high-level technology-based jobs. Sentient tools will massively automate middle-skill jobs and create significant demand for high-skill knowledge based jobs, thus creating a knowledge GDP in the future. New Approach to Education Needed To take best advantage of these new tools, the labor force will need to be trained to work with tools that think. Learning should become more activity driven and move away from content/exam driven. Flipped classroom models are expected to become the norm to fast-track learning.
Our science, technology, communications networks, collaborative tools and funding mechanisms have progressed to the point where we are only constrained by the limits of our imaginations.

Threatcasting Threatcasting is a conceptual framework used to help multidisciplinary groups envision future scenarios. It is also a process that enables systematic planning against threats ten years in the future. Utilizing the threatcasting process, groups explore possible future threats and how to transform the future they desire into reality while avoiding undesired futures. Threatcasting is a continuous, multiple-step process with inputs from social science, technical research, cultural history, economics, trends, expert interviews, and science fiction storytelling. These inputs inform the exploration of potential visions of the future.
