Karim Jebari

I am a researcher at the Institute for Futures Studies. I defended my PhD in philosophy at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in December 2014. Since then, I have conducted research on how technology and technological development affect the human condition.

At present, I am writing a popular science book on how the climate crisis interacts with security policy, and its implications for the future of humanity.

I have published several articles on existential risks, bioethics, environmental ethics, demography, game theory, and political philosophy.

In an ongoing research project, led by Eva Erman, I am writing about AI and the future of work, automated decision-making in the public sector, and implicit assumptions in the discourse on artificial superintelligence.

I have recently led a major research project, the Mimir Center, which explored issues relevant to the long-term future.

Public engagement has been an important part of my career. I frequently appear in the media and have co-authored several reports, inquiries, and governmental assignments. I am currently developing, within the framework of Mimir, an educational board game aimed at communicating important research findings to policymakers.
