* About * Themes * Projects * Centers * News * Prize Search Open Main Menu A GLOBAL NETWORK OF THINKERS NAVIGATING CHANGE THROUGH IDEAS WHAT WE DO WE DEVELOP NEW CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORKS TO MEET THE CHALLENGES AND HARNESS THE OPPORTUNITIES OF THE ARRIVING FUTURE Our work forges new frameworks of thought in democracy, capitalism, planetary politics, science and technology, and philosophy and culture. We foster dialogue between East and West, and develop shared perspectives for our world. Our goal is to create a planetary network of thinkers from diverse disciplines and cultures. We believe these thinkers—connected and emboldened—can reshape our social and political institutions, and drive solutions to some of the biggest challenges of our time.

We are immersed in a time of meteoric change. Researchers are creating technoscientific objects—computational intelligences, outer space telescopes, and synthetic and virtual life forms—that call into question historical notions of what it means to be human. The Future Humans Theme hypothesizes that such phenomena demand a philosophical reordering. We ask, what will life become? One area of our research, speculative and science fiction, explores the tools that are materializing our shared future with other-than-human entities through the Vaster than Empires project.

Learn more CAN WE ENVISION DEMOCRATIC PRACTICES AND FORMS OF POLITICAL PARTICIPATION THAT EXTEND BEYOND THE BALLOT BOX? More people are eligible to vote in 2024 than at any other point in history—but the shadow of authoritarianism looms over this historic moment. To meet this crisis, we are reimagining democratic institutions beyond elections by placing the citizen at the center of the democratic process. Learn more HOW CAN CAPITALISM BE REFORMED TO ADDRESS GROWING INEQUALITY? The innovations of digital capitalism, most notably AI, are divorcing productivity growth and wealth creation from employment and income, thus vastly increasing inequality — something that can only be addressed by fostering an ownership share by all in the wealth generated by intelligent machines that are displacing gainful employment — that is, predistribution via universal capital. Read more WHAT WOULD GOVERNANCE LOOK LIKE IF OUR PROFOUND INTEGRATION IN EARTH’S PLANETARY SYSTEMS WAS CENTRAL TO OUR POLITICS? The Planetary Program works to place the fact that we live on a planet – which enables and constrains all life – at the center of politics. We are developing a new conceptual vocabulary to help envision Earth as a political space that can be governed for the benefit of life. Learn more SHOULD HUMAN AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE BE “ALIGNED,” OR WOULD THAT PREVENT NEW POSSIBILITIES AND ENSURE DANGEROUS OUTCOMES? To strongly align AI to human values presumes that anthropocentric mirroring is the best guarantee of viable futures, but what if this is based on faulty presumptions about what human values actually are and what the evolution of intelligence really means?

Zoom OUR THEMES Explore RENOVATING DEMOCRACY Bringing together public leaders and thinkers, the Renovating Democracy theme is reimagining democratic institutions to meet the challenges of the 21st century, placing the citizen at the center of the democratic process. Explore UNIVERSAL CAPITAL Global capitalism is the dominant form of economic organization but is unable to address problems such as climate change, wealth inequality, and financial and price instability. Our work in this area develops and implements cutting-edge thinking designed to address these failures of capitalism’s institutional architecture. Explore FUTURE HUMANS Future Humans connects experimenters, creators, and scholars who are shaping how humans of the future will collaborate with natures and technologies. At the center of these projects is a crucial question: What will life become? Explore THE PLANETARY We are entering a new era, in which our most pressing challenges exceed the narrow concerns of human beings. These challenges call for a conceptual break with traditional human-centered understandings of the world and its politics, toward processes and institutions that are planetary in scale and scope. Explore ANTIKYTHERA Antikythera is a research and development organization reorienting planetary computation as a philosophical, technological, and geopolitical force. Directed by Philosopher of Technology, Benjamin Bratton, and incubated by the Berggruen Institute, Antikythera produces new philosophies of technology through design studios, salons, and productions that orbit around five core research themes–Synthetic Intelligence, Recursive Simulation, Synthetic Catallaxy, Hemispherical Stacks, and Planetary Sapience.
