Algorithms are showing bias without it being specifically programmed into them. Where is that bias coming from then? Is the bias coming from the present justice system? How can we use technology to uncover and address bias?
Besides making the work of a futurist more efficient, these services are helping to make futures thinking more accessible to a broader public.

In addition to the 49 total tertiary courses majoring in futures and foresight, we also found 7 programs that are not expressly futures or foresight but are related in some manner. In the academic world, the focus is obviously on teaching foresight to long-term students. Post-graduate diplomas are less common than masters degrees, but even they outnumber the undergraduate courses.
The list is split up by the scope of each association. We have categorized five associations as global in scope and ten associations that are more targeted on a specific region or nation. Another four associations are even more focused on particular sectors.
