The Future onAir Hub facilitates bringing together futurists, organizations, and other people interested in working together to create positive innovations for the future that benefit all humanity… where everyone has the opportunity to succeed and thrive.

This hub focuses on the study of the future and how people and organizations can Learn about and evolve our knowledge about possible future challenges and issues; Discuss and innovative research and solutions; and Co-create with stakeholders to implement solutions.

Dr. Angela Meyers is an internationally recognised as the creator of Modern Polymathy studies, at the core of my work is a deep-seated desire to reduce human suffering by enhancing human thriving. To me the key to that freedom is through actualising our innate human polymathy.

Through my career, which spans professional roles at the Executive Office of the President and managing educational programs and organizational development interventions for leaders from across the federal government, I have been fortunate to blend my passion for leadership, learning, innovation, and interdisciplinary thinking.

Having built an extensive network across government, academia, and among the world’s polymaths has allows me to engage with many of the world’s brightest minds.

In 2015, the UN adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The aim of these global goals is “peace and prosperity for people and the planet” – while tackling climate change and working to preserve oceans and forests. The SDGs highlight the connections between the environmental, social and economic aspects of sustainable development. Sustainability is at the center of the SDGs, as the term sustainable development implies.

• The 17 SDGs are broad and interconnected, covering a wide range of issues, from poverty and hunger to climate change and education. 
• The SDGs call for universal action by all countries, not just developing nations, to achieve these goals. 
• The goals are interconnected, meaning progress on one goal can help advance progress on others. 
• The SDGs are intended to be achieved by 2030. 

The Millennium Project is a global participatory think tank established in 1996 under the American Council for the United Nations University. We became an independent non-profit in 2009 and we now have 72 Nodes (a group of institutions and individuals that connect local and global perspectives) around the world.

Purpose: Improve humanity’s prospects for building a better future.

Mission: Improve thinking about the future and make that thinking available
through a variety of media for feedback to accumulate wisdom about the future for better decisions today.

Vision: A global foresight network of Nodes, information, and software, building a global collective intelligence system recognized for its ability to improve prospects for humanity. A think tank on behalf of humanity, not on behalf of a government, or an issue, or an ideology, but on behalf of building a better future for all of us.

The US onAir National Hub is the central hub for the US onAir Network of  50 state onAir hubs. The nonpartisan nonprofit Democracy onAir will be overseeing the soft launch of the US onAir Network this fall.

The US onAir Network supports US citizens and their democracy by bringing together information, experts, organizations, policy makers, and the public to facilitate greater engagement in federal, state, and local politics and more civil, positive discussions and collaborations on important issues and governance.

Learn. Discuss. Collaborate.

onAir networks has started a People’s Internet onAir hub  at people.onair.cc that seeks to bring together the leaders and organizations behind the DSNP movement to a common place where they could share their knowledge and collaborate as well as promote their content and new topical networks and hubs.

This People’s Internet hub is based on Project Liberty’s various initiatives and “commitment to building a better internet—where the data is ours to manage, the platforms are ours to govern, and the power is ours to reclaim.”

The AI Policy Hub is focused on bringing together information, experts, organizations, policy makers, and the public to address AI regulation challenges..

If you or your organization would like to curate a post within this hub (e.g. a profile post on your organization), contact jeremy.pesner@onair.cc.

The regulation of artificial intelligence is the development of public sector policies and laws for promoting and regulating artificial intelligence (AI); it is therefore related to the broader regulation of algorithms. The regulatory and policy landscape for AI is an emerging issue in jurisdictions globally, including in the European Union and in supra-national bodies like the IEEE, OECD and others. Since 2016, a wave of AI ethics guidelines have been published in order to maintain social control over the technology. Regulation is considered necessary to both encourage AI and manage associated risks. In addition to regulation, AI-deploying organizations need to play a central role in creating and deploying trustworthy AI in line with the principles of trustworthy AI,  and take accountability to mitigate the risks.  Regulation of AI through mechanisms such as review boards can also be seen as social means to approach the AI control problem.
