Why AI demand for high-performance computing is outpacing supply, and what this means for data centers, chipmakers, and cloud infrastructure.
DownloadHow generative AI changes the cost and value of information—and the knock-on effects for education, media, and research.
DownloadGenerative AI and automation are erasing routine tasks in law, finance, and customer service, forcing a pivot toward judgment- and relationship-driven roles.
DownloadAI removes geographic wage advantages, making human location irrelevant for many roles, with major consequences for outsourcing hubs.
DownloadAI and robotic systems could double or triple productivity, making shorter human workweeks possible—if economic and social systems adapt.
DownloadHybrid human–AI teams are delivering unprecedented performance gains—success will hinge on rethinking workflows and skill sets.
DownloadIndustrial robots are moving beyond manufacturing into logistics, healthcare, and construction, with hardware–software convergence accelerating adoption.
DownloadIf AI and robotics displace most forms of human labor, global birth rates could collapse below replacement everywhere—potentially driving the world’s population to under one billion before the end of this century.
DownloadGene editing, synthetic biology, and AI-driven drug discovery accelerating medical breakthroughs beyond traditional R&D limits.
