Artificial Intelligence
Take a look at our latest ‘Considered Document’:
'Artificial Intelligence - Managing The Future'.We look at how we accelerate the benefits of AI, how we avoid or mitigate the downsides, how society is likely to be impacted and how Government, Organisations and Society need to adapt to ensure a good future for us and for our children and grandchildren.

Bouncing Back
Take a look at our recent ‘Considered Document’ on Bouncing back after covid-19, bringing together ideas from our Probably42 Discussion Groups.
You’ll find a mix of some 32 short-term and long-term ideas, including one also addressing the longstanding UK productivity problem.

Manifesto of Ideas
The Manifesto of Ideas collects together our best ideas from the various P42 inputs. We've just produced a substantially enhanced new version and a short summary of it. If you are new to Probably42 this is a good place to start.
We've even produced a list of the 50 Top Transformative Ideas which you can review in seconds to get the flavour.
Just go to 'Manifesto' in the navigation bar to access any of them.
