AMM's Center for the Future of Museums has released this year's annual forecasting report. This year the report explores volatility - strategic foresight parlance for the speed of change. That speed has been increasing exponentially in recent decades. Topics include Culture Wars 2.0, AI Adolescence, Decarbonization, Dropping the Degree for Museum Work, and Combating the Loneliness Crisis in Museums.
