The year ahead

A members-only briefing with a Q&A

In today’s members-only session, I looked ahead to 2026. This is the year when AI will feel less like a set of tools and more like a workforce, where the advantage shifts to those who can orchestrate it into reliable outcomes.

I followed with a Q&A, which covered:

  • How far AI coding and agentic systems really go in practice

  • Where value accrues as building becomes cheaper and faster

  • What this shift means for careers, education, and skills

  • Whether China’s deployment-focused approach could outperform frontier-led strategies

  • How energy, infrastructure, and capital shape the durability of the AI boom

I will be publishing more on these themes later this week.

Happy New Year! Azeem
