Why do we need FuturICT? I




 From the Project Summary
     It seems that we know more about the universe than about our
     society. Therefore it is time to use the power of information to
     explore social and economic life on Earth and discover options for a
     sustainable future.

Premises


Why do we need FuturICT? II

 From Dirk Hebling’s Presentation (2010)
         We know a lot about the universe, but know so little about our society
         We are not good at predicting and facing crisis
         We observe global forces along with a myriad of local impulses
         altogether producing novel societal phenomena, at any level and at
         any scale
         Why are we not “good”?
                Complexity, social phenomena, ICT work altogether, but are faced /
                understood separately
                techno-socio-economic-environmental systems are inherently complex
         The EC means to spend 1 billion euros in the next 10 years for ICT
         and society: how could we ensure all that money is well-spent?

Premises


What would we need from FuturICT? I




 Understanding & Predicting
 Science means building models and making predictions
         we need predictability of complex socio-economic-environmental
         systems
         we need to put in a working feedback loop big data + complex
         models + forecasting + validation, towards predictions & policies

Premises


What would we need from FuturICT? II

 The Basic Idea (Rosaria Conte, 2010)
 The basic idea of FuturICT is to integrate different disciplinary areas like
         complexity science
         social science
         ICT
 in order to
         provide a new foundation for a science of society
         answer some foundational transformative problems of society, like
         preventing spreading of crime, how to face health care issues, how to
         predict financial crises etc.
         create a new science of the co-evolution of ICT and society

Facts


What is FuturICT?




 From Project Summary
 FuturICT is a visionary project that will deliver new science and technology
 to explore, understand and manage our connected world.
 This will inspire new information and communication technologies (ICT)
 that are socially adaptive and socially interactive, supporting collective
 awareness.

Facts


How will FuturICT work? I




 FuturICT Platform
     FuturICT will build a sophisticated framework for simulation,
     visualisation and participation, called the FuturICT Platform
     The FuturICT Platform consists of
                the Planetary Nervous System
                the Living Earth Simulator
                the Global Participatory Platform

Facts


How will FuturICT work? II


 The Vision
     A suite of models forming the Living Earth Simulator will power
     Observatories, to detect and mitigate crises plus identify opportunities
     in specific areas
         These models will be driven, and calibrated, by data aggregated in
         real-time, which are gathered by a digital Planetary Nervous System
         Both models and data will support the decision-making of
         policy-makers, business people and citizens, through a Global
         Participatory Platform which is intended to facilitate better social,
         economic and political participation

Benefits


Which benefits from FuturICT?
 FuturICT will. . .
     . . . be the first large-scale ICT project in the world addressing the
     socio-economic challenges of humanity
     . . . be a global project, including leading international scientist in the
     US and all over the world: Europe has triggered off and will
     coordinate this global research initiative
     . . . come up with a Knowledge Accelerator, which will help to identify,
     stimulate, and promote innovations, strengthening both Europe’s
     science and Europe’s economy
     . . . revolutionise the social sciences and economics through a
     multi-disciplinary approach
     . . . foster Europe’s leadership regarding a multi-disciplinary approach
     to the social and economic sciences
     . . . be a competent partner of politics when it comes to difficult
     questions, the drawbacks of which are hard to overlook
     . . . be fully in line with Europe’s Agenda 2020 and its humanitarian
     tradition
     . . . enable societies to be self-aware and better perceive their
     challenges and opportunities
     . . . be not expensive: it requires not even a permille of the costs that
     the financial crises has created

II From Dirk Hebling’s Presentation (2010) We know a lot about the universe, but know so little about our society We are not good at predicting and facing crisis We observe global forces along with a myriad of local impulses altogether producing novel societal phenomena, at any level and at any scale Why are we not “good”? Complexity, social phenomena, ICT work altogether, but are faced / understood separately techno-socio-economic-environmental systems are inherently complex The EC means to spend 1 billion euros in the next 10 years for ICT and society: how could we ensure all that money is well-spent? Andrea Omicini (Universit` di Bologna) a FuturICT Intro ICT InfoDay 14/2/2012 5 / 17
  • 6. Premises What would we need from FuturICT? I Understanding & Predicting Science means building models and making predictions we need predictability of complex socio-economic-environmental systems we need to put in a working feedback loop big data + complex models + forecasting + validation, towards predictions & policies Andrea Omicini (Universit` di Bologna) a FuturICT Intro ICT InfoDay 14/2/2012 6 / 17
  • 7. Premises What would we need from FuturICT? II The Basic Idea (Rosaria Conte, 2010) The basic idea of FuturICT is to integrate different disciplinary areas like complexity science social science ICT in order to provide a new foundation for a science of society answer some foundational transformative problems of society, like preventing spreading of crime, how to face health care issues, how to predict financial crises etc. create a new science of the co-evolution of ICT and society Andrea Omicini (Universit` di Bologna) a FuturICT Intro ICT InfoDay 14/2/2012 7 / 17

Andrea Omicini (Universit` di Bologna) a FuturICT Intro ICT InfoDay 14/2/2012 9 / 17
  • 10. Facts How will FuturICT work? I FuturICT Platform FuturICT will build a sophisticated framework for simulation, visualisation and participation, called the FuturICT Platform The FuturICT Platform consists of the Planetary Nervous System the Living Earth Simulator the Global Participatory Platform Andrea Omicini (Universit` di Bologna) a FuturICT Intro ICT InfoDay 14/2/2012 10 / 17
  • 11. Facts How will FuturICT work? II The Vision A suite of models forming the Living Earth Simulator will power Observatories, to detect and mitigate crises plus identify opportunities in specific areas These models will be driven, and calibrated, by data aggregated in real-time, which are gathered by a digital Planetary Nervous System Both models and data will support the decision-making of policy-makers, business people and citizens, through a Global Participatory Platform which is intended to facilitate better social, economic and political participation Andrea Omicini (Universit` di Bologna) a FuturICT Intro ICT InfoDay 14/2/2012 11 / 17
