CFG is an independent think-and-do tank created to help decision-makers anticipate and govern rapid technological change. https://cfg.eu
At Think & Do 2025, CFG’s CEO @thomaslingard.bsky.social explained why Europe needs a new approach to technology and governance.
CFG's mission is to help European policymakers anticipate technological change rather than simply respond to it.

“Who decides who decides?”
We invited Kim Stanley Robinson to share his thinking on the deeper questions behind technological acceleration.
It’s a theme we return to often at CFG.

🎬Tech, power, and the future: movies and shows we’re watching this autumn
Our team at CFG pulled together five films and series that stayed with us because they ask big questions about where technology is taking us, and what it means to be human.

🌍 Could we cool the planet by reflecting sunlight?
In this first video of our four-part video series, Matthias Honegger and Cynthia Scharf explain what Solar Radiation Modification (SRM) is. All of this is not without risks — next week’s video will explore those.

Sci-fi author Kim Stanley Robinson has been thinking about geoengineering longer than most policymakers.
In this clip, he explains why “technologies of desperation” like carbon removal and solar radiation management may soon shift from fiction to fact.

What if generative AI could help draft policy—and citizens could help write the future?
We asked Kim Stanley Robinson how he sees AI reshaping democracy. His take: powerful technologies can supercharge civic participation—or undermine it from the top down.
