Dubai launches world's first icon classification for Human–Machine Collaboration in research and publications
Classification system sets new standard for transparency in the age of AI-assisted knowledge creation Dubai-United Arab Emirates: Dubai has launched the world's first icon-based classification system to represent the level of human–machine collaboration in the process of producing research, publications, and public-facing content. Developed by the Dubai Future Foundation (DFF), the Human–Machine Collaboration (HMC) Icons offer a new global standard for transparency, clearly indicating the extent to which humans and AI worked together throughout the creation process. The classification is free to use, copyrighted for consistency, and openly available for researchers, publishers, and content creators worldwide. His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of DFF, said: 'Distinguishing between human and AI-generated content has become a major challenge. That is why we have launched a new framework to define the level of collaboration between humans and machines across all forms of content. 'We invite researchers, writers, publishers, designers, and content creators around the world to adopt this new global classification system,' His Highness added. Unlike existing tools that focus on outputs or authorship, the HMC Icons focus on the process behind the work, from ideation and data analysis to writing, translation, and design. The system applies to academic papers, reports, visual content, and educational materials. The classification system features five core icons representing the degree of human–machine collaboration (from All Human to All Machine), as well as nine functional icons indicating which specific parts of the process a machine has contributed to. They are: ideation, literature review, data collection, data analysis, data interpretation, writing, translation, visuals, and design. By using these icons, institutions and individuals can demonstrate responsible AI use, reinforce human leadership in research production, and foster greater trust in an era increasingly shaped by machine learning tools. The system was developed in response to a question raised in the 2024 edition of Dubai Future Foundation's Global 50 report: 'What if we had a Turing Declaration for human intelligence?' The HMC Icons present Dubai's answer: a practical framework that sets a new benchmark for research integrity and content transparency.

10 megatrends shaping future; 50 key new opportunities
Dubai Future Foundation (DFF) has launched the fourth edition of the 'Future Opportunities: The Global 50' report, igniting global dialogues to harness promising opportunities and global trends in service of humanity's future. The report outlines 50 key opportunities across five critical areas: Health Reimagined, Nature Restored, Societies Empowered, Systems Optimised, and Transformational. These insights aim to drive growth, address emerging challenges, and prepare industries for a rapidly evolving future. The launch of this annual fourth edition brings the total number of future opportunities identified since the report's inception to 200, capable of generating over 1,000 actionable ideas across economic, societal, technological, and legal domains. 10 Megatrends Shaping the Future The report highlights ten megatrends that will significantly influence these opportunities: Materials Revolutions, Boundless Multidimensional Data, Technological Vulnerabilities, Energy Boundaries, Evolving Ecosystems, Borderless World–Fluid Economies, Digital Realities, Life with Autonomous Robots and Automation, Future Humanity, and Advanced Health and Nutrition. These trends are based on key indicators, including the expansion of 6G networks, the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence, advancements in energy technologies, and increased reliance on robotics and unmanned aerial vehicles. The Global 50 report provides insights into the potential impact of these opportunities across many vital sectors, including health, space, energy, transportation, data, and the global economy. Developed in collaboration with global experts and numerous DFF partners, the report serves as a strategic roadmap for navigating the future of industries and societies. Mohammad Abdullah Al Gergawi, Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Managing Director of DFF, highlighted the report's role as a call for collective action and the strengthening of effective partnerships to support individuals, institutions, and governments in transforming future opportunities into tangible achievements. 'The report embodies a platform for inspiring new ideas and future opportunities that support the global foresight ecosystem and open new horizons for designing the best possible future,' Al Gergawi stated. Al Gergawi also emphasised the need for proactive and strategic responses in a world of accelerating change. 'Foresight is not just about exploration or speculation. It is about deliberate action driven by the pursuit of growth, prosperity, and well-being. The future is not a fixed destination; it is an ongoing series of experiences shaped by intent and action. Anticipating change requires more than imagining scenarios; it involves exploring unfamiliar paths and maintaining an open mind. Success will come from reflecting, adapting, and acting decisively. Progress is built on agility, resilience, and the courage to innovate,' Al Gergawi explained. Health Reimagined Advancements in healthcare are redefining mental well-being, with brainwave-driven relaxation and AI-powered mental health solutions at the forefront. Pandemic response is accelerating through cutting-edge innovations, while nanotechnology is revolutionising precision medicine with targeted drug delivery. Digital twins are enhancing early disease detection, breath-based diagnostics are emerging, and fungi-based therapies are being explored to strengthen immunity. Nature Restored Smart technology and biomaterials are optimising sustainability, creating stronger connections between people and nature. 4D-printed habitats are enhancing biodiversity, while advanced filtration systems are improving water quality. Ocean energy is becoming a major renewable power source, and advancements in clean energy storage and marine byproduct repurposing are driving environmental restoration.
