We need to be thinking big picture. What better time when a mind-boggling first quarter century of the millenium has passed, and we dive headfirst into what will inevitably be a defining period for the future of humanity? Here is my distillation of how we should be thinking about this juncture and the 10 defining […]
AI has been used in investment decision-making for decades, with algorithmic trading a major market driver. Now the greatly broadened scope of generative AI is reshaping investment decision-making. This framework is highly simplified, designed to draw out the spectrum from purely algorithmic decisions through to human-first decisions augmented by AI, across different asset classes. A […]
The AI agent economy is taking off. Its next phase will be massively expanded by payments between agents and between agents and humans. As AI agents grow in capabilities, individuals are delegating tasks to single agents that can perform tasks on their behalf such as research, curation, scheduling, travel planning, or email drafting.
AI is reshaping business models and value creation across all industries. Forward-thinking leaders are considering how their business models will evolve and the legion new opportunities for enhanced value creation and capture. We are very early in discovering the structures that work best, and how to configure across multiple dimensions, including internal value creation based […]
This week I gave the keynote for the leadership strategy session of a U.S. tertiary institution with over 120,000 students, on re-envisaging the future of higher education. As part of my session I shared this framework on unbundling and rebundling higher education. I explain and expand below the image.
For superior Humans + AI creative outcomes we need to focus on process. LLMs are most effectively applied at well-defined points within broader processes, using precise prompts and context for highly specific tasks such as content generation, ideation, structure mapping, analysis, adaptation, synthesis, evaluation. The first step is to pull back to the broader process […]
Much of my current work is with boards and executive teams on the implications of AI, the future of work, and strategy in rapidly changing environments. In this overview document I provide details of 6 in-demand workshops, including key content, outcomes, and examples. The Power of Generative AI AI and the Future of Work Framing […]
All professional services are being transformed by generative AI, but the impact is especially pointed for creative agencies. Agencies need to reconfigure themselves for a substantially different future. The nature of the client-agency relationship will rapidly evolve, but in there lies an enormous opportunity to shift to a far more collaborative dynamic where value is […]
The history of humanity has been one of accelerating scientific and technological progress. Now, by amplifying the cognition and capabilities of scientists with AI, we can dramatically step up the pace of discovery. By the very nature of discovery, we cannot know what we will learn. The coming advances in life and brain sciences and […]
Soon virtually every decision will involve AI. For every decision we make, the critical first step is to determine the level of AI delegation. And then select the specific Humans + AI architecture most appropriate to the decision. This framework is the latest iteration of the AI decision-making delegation frameworks I’ve been developing and using […]
