  AI agents are starting to take over coding work that human developers used to do. Replit grew revenue five times after going all in on AI agents, Klarna has stopped hiring developers for future IT roles, and Meta and Salesforce have announced hiring freezes for human coders. The future of IT development belongs to […]

  Generative AI has already spread through your organisation, whether you planned for it or not, and leaders can no longer control adoption. The job now is to train people to use AI well, because most employees barely scratch the surface of what these tools can do. Organisations that lead this shift keep their best […]

  AI will design the office of the future because it can weigh hundreds of millions of details at once: parameters, colours, shapes, textures and climate considerations. In an interview with Worklife, I explain why design is still mostly human only because designers are protecting their jobs. One company that redesigned its office using usage […]

  Gartner forecasts worldwide IT spending to grow 9.3% in 2025, driven primarily by cybersecurity, data centre expansion and generative AI moving beyond proof of concept. Server sales alone are projected to reach $257 billion in 2025 and nearly triple to $332 billion by 2028. This analysis looks at what sits behind those numbers and […]

The AI drafted, reviewed and improved a winning international contract in hours, at a cost of less than $100 per month. My […]

  Always-on AI voice assistants will work like a personal secretary that follows you everywhere: recording commitments, noting dates and handling the routine of daily life. The trade is privacy, and it will split people into those who embrace the technology and those who refuse it. In this interview I answer three questions on what […]

  In this podcast interview with Joshua T. Berglan, I discuss AI, robotics and why the future of technology is human. The conversation covers my path from New York’s Lower East Side to leading technology organisations, and why AI and robotics may free us to be more human rather than less.   On a hot […]

  The best enterprise use case for generative AI right now is standing in for unavailable experts under deadline pressure. With my team on holiday and a client contract due in 24 hours, Claude drafted and refined the entire document with the depth of a team of local specialists. GenAI is not hype; on days […]
