Public Trust, Narrative Integrity, and Civic Intelligence in the Age of Systemic Risk
The New Media & Civic Foresight Track of the Global Risks Forum provides a trusted multilateral platform for aligning information systems, public discourse, and civic engagement with the realities of a rapidly changing risk landscape. In an era where generative AI, real-time data ecosystems, and decentralized technologies redefine how people perceive, process, and act on information, this track ensures that emerging media infrastructures and public communication channels are resilient, inclusive, and anchored in verifiable foresight.
This track brings together leading institutions, journalists, civic technologists, public interest communicators, and multilateral bodies to strengthen society’s collective capacity to detect, interpret, and respond to complex global risks—from climate events and pandemics to financial volatility and technological disruption. It supports the development of public narratives grounded in evidence, context, and risk-aware analysis—while enabling transparent, participatory processes that elevate public trust, digital rights, and democratic resilience. Designed to future-proof the civic and media foundations of global governance, the track addresses the convergence of exponential technologies—including artificial intelligence, blockchain, Earth observation, digital twins, and spatial computing—ensuring that both content and communication architectures are transparent, verifiable, and adaptable to real-world volatility. It advances narrative integrity, disinformation resilience, civic readiness, and platform accountability by embedding foresight into every layer of public communication and governance interaction.
The New Media & Civic Foresight Track also functions as a diplomatic interface where governments, public institutions, and private platforms can align on ethical communication standards, participatory foresight practices, and public-good data governance. It enables joint simulation of risk narratives, codification of civic response frameworks, and development of trusted channels for communicating early warnings, complex decisions, and long-range scenarios. By reinforcing the connective tissue between society, science, and systems-level governance, this track transforms media from a reactive information layer into a strategic foresight asset—capable of building shared understanding, managing perception risk, and guiding public imagination toward durable, inclusive, and informed futures.
