# Atlas Of Weak Signals To help us identify our areas of interest and decide what we want to focus on for our projects, we were given a deck of cards called the *Atlas of Weak Signals*. This toolkit, created by Mariana Quintero, turns research on weak signals into a practical tool for exploring potential future scenarios based on today’s emerging trends. It’s a powerful exercise that helps reveal opportunities, risks, and shared visions for innovation, policy, intervention, research, and even business possibilities in the future. As part of the Master in Design for Emergent Futures, this ongoing project gives us a structured space to navigate today’s complex landscape and address future challenges by uncovering spaces for meaningful design interventions. Below is a lecture from the *Atlas of Weak Signals* seminar, led by Jose Luis de Vicente, who directs this research. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://auxence-daillen-organisation.gitbook.io/auxence-daillen/terms/term-1/design-studio-01/atlas-of-weak-signals.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
