Global Risks & Future Threats

Global Satellite Navigation Systems (GNSS), including the U.S. GPS, Russia’s GLONASS, China’s BeiDou, and Europe’s Galileo, provide real-time positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) data that are critical for both civilian and military operations. These systems have become indispensable in modern life, with GPS in particular becoming essential to millions of …

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming industries, from healthcare to finance, autonomous vehicles to cybersecurity, promising groundbreaking advancements in technology and efficiency. However, this immense potential is accompanied by significant risks. AI technologies, if not regulated properly, could lead to unintended consequences, such as biased decision-making, invasions of privacy, security …

The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has amplified the nuclear risk, reshaping global security dynamics and intensifying a nuclear modernization race among major powers. As tensions escalate, the modernization of the nuclear triad—the three-pronged structure of land, sea, and air-based nuclear delivery systems—has become a focal point for countries …

Modern artificial intelligence (AI) systems have reached near-human levels in various tasks, including object recognition, language translation, and even decision-making. Many of these breakthroughs rely on deep neural networks (DNNs), complex machine learning models that simulate the interconnected neurons in the human brain. DNNs excel in handling millions of pixels …

In today’s interconnected world, the boundaries of warfare are rapidly expanding from traditional battlefields to digital landscapes, where the stakes are equally high and the threats more insidious. Cyberwarfare, the deployment of cyber attacks to destabilize or disrupt the operations of a nation or organization, has evolved beyond a theoretical …

In today’s increasingly connected world, privacy has become one of the most valuable commodities—yet it is constantly under threat. With every digital interaction, individuals risk exposing their personal data, often without their full knowledge or consent. From targeted advertising and data mining to sophisticated surveillance systems, the erosion of privacy …

In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, artificial intelligence (AI) is driving remarkable advancements. However, as with any powerful tool, there are dark sides to its applications. One of the most alarming developments in recent years is the rise of deepfakes—AI-generated videos and audio that are nearly indistinguishable from real recordings. …
