Stowers researchers identified “Funes,” a chaperone that controls functional amyloid assembly linked to long-term memory. That flips Alzheimer’s logic: stop indiscriminate removal, start regulating protein states. Insurers now choose: fund destructive rescue, or constructive prevention.
Read MoreThe coming decade won’t be defined by who builds the smartest models. It will be defined by whether humans, leaders, boards, governments, are willing to reclaim judgment when certainty disappears
Read MoreWe’re building systems that can analyse, predict, simulate and persuade at superhuman levels, while relying on political, legal and organisational structures that were designed for a world where intelligence was scarce and slow. That is a dangerous gap.
Read MoreThe AI race won’t be decided by GPUs alone. It will be decided by who treats data as public infrastructure—open, interoperable, rights-cleared, and governed. The UK’s push to open national datasets is the clearest signal yet: build the roads, and innovation follows.
Read MoreWhen machines can analyze, summarize, simulate, translate, and persuade better than any individual, intelligence stops being the bottleneck. It becomes ambient. Cheap. Infinite. In this post-intelligence world, trust, knowledge and judgement will become increasingly important.
Read MoreIMF: an AI job “tsunami” for youth. Davos: “jobs, jobs, jobs.” Cyber leaders: AI vulnerabilities are the top risk. Musk: robots outnumber humans. Day 4’s conclusion is brutal and simple, tomorrow’s disruption cannot be managed with yesterday’s thinking.
Read MoreDavos dropped the polite fiction: the world order is rupturing, alliances are stressed, and geopolitics now shapes AI governance and supply chains. AI is moving from pilots to measurable deployment, but value distribution and job disruption are unavoidable. Trust and resilience decide winners.
Read MoreDavos 2026: Von der Leyen turns law into industrial strategy. Kande exposes the AI value gap. Nadella warns of a bubble. Amodei predicts job shock and fast software automation. Carney channels Havel: the old order isn’t coming back; middle powers must build coalitions and defend sovereignty.
Read MoreThe metaverse failed as a cartoon. It’s returning as infrastructure. AI, volumetric video, and spatial intelligence are turning immersive tech into something far more dangerous, and powerful, than virtual worlds: reality you can’t easily tell apart.
Read MoreAI policy is no longer a technical debate. It’s a geopolitical struggle over power, values, and human impact. As automation and robotics accelerate, the choices made in Washington, Brussels, and Beijing will define who leads, and who follows.
