Scarcity in Abundance - Research Reports

Two new research reports have been launched by SogetiLabs under the theme of Scarcity in Abundance - they describe a future where an abundance of artificial intelligence, and a scarcity of physical resources (such as water, metals, a stable climate, and biodiversity), coincide.

The paradox that arises from this presents organizations and society with a major dilemma: using artificial intelligence to stimulate economic growth leads to more scarcity of physical resources. We see both the tumultuous growth of the economy in recent decades, and the recent explosion in the use of AI, as a major social experiment and the reports delve in to the major issues of our time.
