<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Designing intelligence, disrupting society.</strong> AI’s potential is world-changing, but so are its risks. As new systems promise to revolutionise work, governance, and thought itself, where is the line between innovation and instability? Between hand-holding and safeguarding? Stagnation or civilizational salvation?</span></p>

<p>Agents are heralded as the next wave of AI technology, but many organisations are not ready for them. Promises of multi-agent systems that can do the work of entire departments are enticing, but slow adoption, security concerns, poor API integration, and unsophisticated agents inhibit their deployment. What will it take for agents to go mainstream? And what will workflows look like when humans are no longer the ones working?</p>

The agentic era

<p>How do we go from deepfakes to deep understanding? Our social media feeds are inundated with poor-quality, AI-generated content, and yet we’re told AGI is coming next year. Is the dream of superintelligence and its promise of a societal renaissance truly around the corner, or are we caught in a hype bubble?</p>

From slop to superintelligence

<p>The AI ecosystem is evolving rapidly to meet demand, but struggling to keep up with a tumultuous global market. Energy consumption is rising as demand for compute accelerates, hardware is increasingly locked behind tariffs and embargoes, and AI industries are increasingly being shaped by opposing regulatory frameworks across the world. Is this the perfect storm for a competitive market? Or are we heading towards technological and economic gridlock?</p>

Accelerate or hold back?

<p>AI offers a utopian path for the future, but who foresaw rising unemployment, the replacement of therapists with chatbots, and an increased distrust in higher education? We’re now seeing the technology’s short-term implications, but its legacy is still to be determined as questions hang over AI’s impact on healthcare, government, and the wider social contract.</p>
