The world as we know it is changing rapidly, and the increasingly dynamic changes in every aspect of life and work created by new technologies, the development of the “cloud” and big data are expected to shape the coming generations. This issue of JASON Magazine looks at the opportunities that arise, technologically and politically, as a consequence of our rapidly changing world. Subjects such as A.I, the influence of social media in Gaza, China’s rise, nuclear weapons, the likelihood of Kurdish statehood and more are discussed in the issue on ‘New World Opportunities’.
