A lack of international leadership, a second term for President-elect Donald Trump, and artificial intelligence are among the top risks facing the world in 2025, according to Eurasia Group, a leading geopolitical risk consultancy.
Details of this year’s list are below top risks Towards 2025.
“G-Zero Wins” top list
The biggest concern is what is known as a “G-zero victory,” the idea that the world could enter an era without leaders on the international stage.
Ian Bremer, founder and president of Eurasia Group, said: “We’re back to the days of the fittest, where the strong do what they want to do and the weak do what they have to do. No one is really going to protect them.” Ian Bremer, founder and president of Eurasia Group, spoke on “CBS Morning.” ”
According to Bremer, a “G-zero” world would coincide with an America-first world.
“Americans aren’t saying we want to be world leaders. They’re saying we want to set rules that benefit them, and we’re talking to all of those leaders. We’re going to go and impose tariffs if we do that.” Unless they do what we want, we need to hit them hard. ”
President Trump takes office
President-elect Donald Trump’s re-election, which is due in less than two weeks, was also on the list.
“It’s not that he’s going to fail, it’s that he’s put together a lot more power this time than he did in 2017,” Bremer said. “Everyone around him has a direct allegiance to Trump…It’s the Trump road, or the highway.”
Though not on the list, Bremer also discussed: Elon Musk and his influence. Although Musk is not an elected leader, he is a close ally of Trump and has millions of followers on social media.
“He is someone who has 200 million followers and is saying that the British government must be overthrown, that the AFD… they must be held accountable.” Germany. America’s allies are panicking about this,” he said. “What they can do is actually put some restrictions on Twitter/X, but at the same time they’re deeply concerned. If he’s that close to Trump, is that OK?’” Will it affect our relationship? ”
AI creates the list again
Artificial intelligence is once again a riskaccording to the list of the Eurasian group.
Last year, AI topped the top five risks, but this year it remains at number eight. Bremer called AI “a great technology” but warned that “we are not regulating it in a way that keeps up with innovation.”
