What is it?

A multi-year funding initiative for coordinated discovery, bringing scientists, philosophers, theologians, and storytellers into the same inquiry, so that a physicist’s insight can meet a filmmaker’s imagination and a technologist’s ambition in the same room. Our first venture is the Future of Intelligence.

Who is it for?

Thinkers

Help us tell the story. Futures need narrative as much as they need data. If you're a storyteller, filmmaker, or public voice, you can help translate a multi-year research inquiry into something the world can feel and follow.

Storytellers

Put resources into exploring these questions alongside us. As a co-funder, you join a portfolio of grants designed to inform and multiply one another, with the shared aim of shifting how we understand a defining question of our time.

Funders

Bring your expertise into the research itself. Templeton Futures gathers scholars and practitioners across disciplines to test nonobvious hypotheses and explore the peripheries of established fields. If you have deep expertise you're willing to take in unexpected directions, this is where it belongs.

Active Futures

Future of Intelligence

Countless traditions over millennia have viewed humans as the pinnacle and center of the intelligent universe. As current research yields a more subtle understanding of biological intelligence, complexity theorists illuminate collective intelligences, and as machine intelligence develops powers outstripping our own, we confront monumental questions.
