Trust in government is all time low, automation and the algorithmic governance are on the rise, and blockchain and other transformative technologies increasingly make it possible for citizens to bypass government. What is the role of government in the future? Governments need a new narrative to function, but it doesn’t seem like futures tools (e.g., foresight, horizon scanning) have helped governments identify one. This panel discusses what the future of governments looks like and what this new reality will mean for decision makers today.
