Humanity has ten years to change course - or face disaster. AI is the most powerful technology in human history, and it is colliding with a world order already breaking down. Dex Hunter-Torricke makes the case that the radical reinvention of our societies, economies and international order must begin now, so we can build a future that is more just, humane and sustainable. After nearly two decades advising some of the world's most influential leaders - from Elon Musk to Mark Zuckerberg to the UN Secretary-General - and most recently leading communications for Google DeepMind, Dex Hunter-Torricke walked away from Big Tech in October 2025. Not because he'd lost faith in technology, but because he'd seen firsthand how the world's most powerful institutions were sleepwalking into AI's transformation of society.
The son of a refugee from Burma and an immigrant from Malaysia, and the first in his family to earn a degree, Dex developed an outsider's perspective on power that shaped his entire career. Throughout his time advising tech CEOs and political leaders, he witnessed the dangerous gap between Silicon Valley's promises and the cascading crises - climate breakdown, economic inequality, democratic fragility - that AI threatens to amplify rather than solve.
Now focused on public service, Dex is Founder and President of the Center for Tomorrow, a new global nonprofit launched in 2026 dedicated to building the ideas, communities, and leadership capacity the world urgently needs as AI reshapes our societies. He also serves as a non-executive board member at HM Treasury, the UK's economic and finance ministry. Through his research and public advocacy, he's building a movement that refuses to treat AI as inevitable fate and instead fights for intentional, systemic solutions to our interconnected planetary challenges.
