Perspectives on AI, business innovation, and strategic transformation

As AI demand surges, data centers are silently transforming American landscapes—bringing noise, environmental strain, and hidden deals to residential and drought-prone areas. A new investigation reveals the true cost of powering the digital age.

Dr. Roman Yampolskiy predicts only five job categories will survive by 2030 as AI displaces nearly all others. From AI safety to philosophy, the future belongs to those who do what machines can’t—or shouldn’t.

OpenAI’s GPT-4o may lead in intelligence, but Google and Apple own the ecosystems we live in. As AI embeds deeper into mobile OSs, email, and search, the real battle isn't about which model is smartest—it’s about who owns the default. Can OpenAI survive without an operating system? The next four years may determine whether brilliance can beat distribution—or if the platform giants win again.

AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton warns that machines may soon outsmart us—not by becoming conscious, but by becoming strategically clever. In a future where intelligence outpaces control, he says the real threat is not evil robots, but indifferent algorithms with power we can't recall.

OpenAI’s Sam Altman believes the web is already obsolete. AI agents are replacing websites, apps, and even market systems, creating a world where intelligence, not infrastructure, rules. The question is no longer when AGI arrives, but what disappears when it does.

Ben Mann helped build OpenAI—then walked away. Now at Anthropic, he’s warning that we may be racing into an AGI future we don’t fully understand. From moral risk to technical uncertainty, his message is clear: pause, align, and proceed with care.

AI isn’t just reshaping jobs—it’s redefining intelligence. Former OpenAI chief Ilya Sutskever and Eric Schmidt warn that artificial superintelligence is approaching fast, and society isn’t prepared. Will we rise to meet the challenge, or be swept away by it?

While the world watches Sam Altman revolutionise AI, he’s quietly building the reactors to power it. Oklo’s mini nuclear vision promises to end energy bottlenecks—and possibly turn radioactive waste into the fuel of the AI era.
