TSD 2025 will explore trends in the most advanced and consequential technology fields including artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, quantum computing, biotechnology, space technology, hybrid warfare such as disinformation, climate and energy, and critical infrastructure. We will look at the ways technology is disrupting workforces, upending economic and strategic power, splintering supply chains and transforming militaries.

Everything seems to be accelerating: geopolitics, technology, security threats, the dispersal of information. At times, it feels like a blur.  But beneath the dizzying proliferation of events, discoveries, rivalries and unravellings, there are deeper trends that can be grasped and understood through conversation and debate.

That’s the idea behind Stop the World, the Australian Strategic Policy Institute’s podcast on international affairs and security, launched in April 2024. Each week, we cast a freeze-frame around the blur of events and bring some clarity and insight on defence, technology, cyber, geopolitics and foreign policy.
