Welcome to the Concerns for Arctic Ocean Survival VCC. We aim to facilitate the co-creation of knowledge that can support the presence of humans in the Arctic in ways that do not degrade the health of the Arctic Ocean. Understanding the reciprocity of humans and nature, we will maintain a dialog between science and society that ensures the availability of the best scientific knowledge for decisions that impact the future of the Arctic Ocean and ensure its sustainability as a healthy marine ecosystem.
[Jul. 08, 2023] Invitation to Join: Scientists and other stakeholders engaged in, or concerned with, the survival of the Arctic Ocean as a healthy marine ecosystem are invited to join this VCC.
[Feb. 24, 2026] New Scenario for 2028 Points to an AI-related Highly Undesirable Future for Economy: Aisha Down and Dan Milmo discuss in their article “‘A feedback loop with no brake’: how an AI doomsday report shook US markets” the scenario study “THE 2028 GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE CRISIS A Thought Exercise in Financial History, from the Future” by Citrini and Alap Shah posted on February 22, 2026 on Substack. This study points out that the financial system of today was optimized over decades for a world of scarce human minds. AI changed this: “This is the first time in history the most productive asset in the economy has produced fewer, not more, jobs. Nobody’s framework fits, because none were designed for a world where the scarce input became abundant. So we have to make new frameworks. Whether we build them in time is the only question that matters.” The authors point out that the economy could find a new equilibrium, and “getting to this new equilibrium is one of the few tasks left that only humans can do. We need to do it correctly.”
