“If you have good competition policy, education and flexicurity – then you can make the best use of AI.” AI has enormous growth and employment creation potential, says economic sciences laureate Philippe Aghion. But in order to harness the full potential of AI, certain prerequisites are needed. Listen to Aghion as he elaborates on the potential of AI with co-laureate Joel Mokyr and journalist Katrine Kielos: Aghion was awarded the 2025 economic sciences prize for the theory of sustained growth through creative destruction, that he created together with his co-laureate Peter Howitt.

The EU in 2027 will spend $0.8 trillion on education and $1.26 trillion on health, while Net Zero will cost $3.3 trillion In his ARC 2026 keynote, Bjorn Lomborg explained the ways in which current climate policies are driving up energy prices and reducing the availability of energy, costing us huge amounts of money while having little to no impact on tackling climate change. He calls for a change in mindset, to pursue the energy abundance that leads to economic growth and technological innovation — which will ultimately help us solve the problem of climate change. Watch the full keynote:

When Europe started down a different energy path in the name of climate change, economic growth stalled and expensive and unreliable energy followed. We want our allies to have vibrant economies supported by affordable, reliable, and secure energy.

Jordan Peterson: Climate models are "about as valid as the models that scientists used to predict Covid death outcomes, which tended to overestimate the mortality probability by a factor of about 10. They're not accurate." "A computer model is a hypothesis, not data. It's a guess." "On top of the climate models, there are even more radically unstable economic models saying that the consequences of climate change will be catastrophic if you look 100 years into the future." "Nobody can make an economic bet 100 years into the future. Period." "It's preposterous." Credit: Dr Jordan B Peterson Theo Von

Start off your week by being inspired by chemistry laureate Omar Yaghi. During his Nobel Prize banquet speech, Yaghi recounted his journey to becoming a scientist, which began in a refugee family far from any lab. A visit to a library led to him discovering the magic of chemistry. He was awarded the 2025 chemistry prize “for the development of metal–organic frameworks.” Enjoy the full speech:

What do you do after winning the The Nobel Prize? If you're Columbia Professor Michael Woodford, newly named a Nobel laureate in Economic Sciences, you head to Uris Hall and give your students an exam. Woodford entered the classroom to cheers and applause from the students in his course “Cognitive Mechanisms and Economic Behavior.” “It's just a staggering piece of news,” Woodford said of receiving the honor. He is the 16th Columbian to receive this prize in economics, and the University's 89th Nobel laureate.

As the voices of climate denial get louder, I’ll always take climate action seriously - and do it in a way that creates new jobs, lowers our bills and unlocks huge economic opportunities for Scotland. Here’s a wee summary of my speech at Glasgow Botanics today 👇

“I had a whole list of people that I thought were going to win, and I wasn't on it.” For Joel Mokyr, the news that he was a 2025 economic sciences laureate was an unexpected surprise. Shortly after the announcement Mokyr shared his happiness with us, and recalled visiting the Nobel Prize ceremony in Stockholm ten years ago – a time where he didn’t for a moment imagine one day he would be on the stage. “Are you kidding me? I'm an economic historian. We don't win Nobel Prizes.” Listen to the interview: #NobelPrize
