1. The QUAD alliance (India, Australia, Japan, USA) will strengthen further to defend against China. It's possible that China will make an aggressive move that causes this.

2. Geopolitically, the world continues to descend towards a major war with clear alliances drawn. It will become harder for countries to sit on the fence.

3. AI would continue to both amaze and scare in its capabilities. Institutions (governments, education, corporate) will formulate policies to regulate it, but they will continue to lag in pace.

4. Twitter will continue with stabilization of leadership and decision making. Elon will step aside but will still be a significant disrupting influence.

5. Currency wars will continue to manage the mind boggling levels of debt. Increasingly unstable, unpredictable macro economic outlook due to lack of resilience at the micro level.

6. Climate related disasters unfortunately will continue until the world fully realizes that the economy, energy and environment are linked. Sustainable living will begin to be seen as a necessity rather than a lifestyle choice.
