Join the Oxford Martin Programme on Forecasting Technological Change at the University of Oxford, led by Dr François Lafond, Prof J. Doyne Farmer, and Prof Max Roser. This pioneering programme aims to understand and predict how technologies evolve - from artificial intelligence to net‑zero innovations in energy, transport, and carbon capture. By building a global database on technological progress, we seek to answer key questions about what drives innovation, how technologies diffuse, and how we can forecast their future impact.
