AI deciphered the meaning of the cover | The Economist 2025

Описание: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the LUXEMETER channel.

Today I want to talk about one interesting publication, which every year intrigues the whole world with its covers and articles, someone considers it as a prediction of events of the coming year, someone disagrees with it.
Let's try to understand this issue together and at the end of next year we will find out whether we were right or wrong.

The Economist publishes annual predictive guide to the coming year, The World Ahead. In this year's edition, correspondents and invited experts consider the global outlook in geopolitics, business, technology and culture; the implications of Donald Trump's victory, for America and the world; and the challenges and opportunities of rapid technological change in clean energy, artificial intelligence and medicine.

The World Ahead 2025

Future-gazing analysis, predictions and speculation.

Perhaps you thought our predictions would be from the Freemasons, Reptilians or Illuminati? No - go to other channels for that, there are so many of them now.

Since our source is a long-time subscriber to The Economist, and has access to their analytics - a feature available to all paid subscribers, not just a select few - I suggest we take a look at what The Economist's editors and journalists really mean when they do their famous cover of The World Ahead.
We do not devalue or joke about finding alternative meanings!

In a way, interpreting such pictograms is like a Rorschach test, reading metaphorical cards or guessing at coffee grounds.

At times, the predictions are quite accurate and frighteningly reliable.
Maybe a person is tapping into a universal information channel, or maybe our tendency to seek confirmation of our point of view is playing tricks on us.

Either way, I encourage you to be open to information and keep critical thinking. There is no way to do without it in our world, which is overflowing with all kinds of information that is not verified by anyone.

Enjoy watching.
