In January 2025 he outlined key forces shaping the world in 2025 and warned that Australia risked falling behind if it failed to adapt to rapid advances in artificial intelligence, stating that “we’ll have 100 years worth of exploration, discovery, advancement in the next 10 years courtesy of AI.” He has also forecast that the rules of real estate are being rewritten by climate change and shifting demographics.
