ChatGPT World forecast until 2030

The world is in a state of upheaval, and not just since yesterday, but we often do not perceive developments as such in a short time frame as significant. In retrospect, however, these are historical developments that set the course for the future.

This article is about how ChatGPT predicts the future of the world in a forecast based on the last major states of the last few years.

A lot has happened in the last 15 years that some people have already forgotten, I don't know if it's just me remembering it well and therefore categorizing it, but it's noticeable that the problems and stressors of the world accumulate, the problems and conflicts are almost always tackled with violence.

I have therefore given ChatGPT 4o the data and geopolitical and economic problems of recent years. I got 2 variants, one, in my opinion too optimistic, where I wonder where this optimism comes from (but it must also be said here that ChatGPT has politically left/green positions in default mode), and a conservative forecast, which I also find better suited to my own perception.

ChatGPT Prompt

I have used the following prompt for this:

I would like to conduct a forecast situation and analyze past events in order to predict future developments. This involves various problematic scenarios, situations and arguments.

Please give me forecasts for the years 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029 and 2030, including the potential players in global geopolitics, economics and technological developments who are trying to find creative solutions and overcome restrictions. Also name individual countries. The categories should be integrated within the annual forecast and not broken down separately.

Give me a conservative forecast:

The initial data:
