For most of modern history, biology and technology evolved along parallel tracks. Biology focuses on cells, organisms, and ecosystems. Technology centred on silicon, software, and systems. One studied life. The other engineered machines. Today, however, those boundaries are dissolving. Biotechnology and digital technology are rapidly merging—creating programmable biology, AI-driven drug discovery, bioengineered materials, and data-powered…
Every night, millions of people open streaming apps believing they’re choosing what to watch. In reality, much of that choice has already been made. Recommendation algorithms—quiet, persistent, and deeply optimised—now act as the most powerful editors in modern media. They don’t create movies or videos. They don’t write scripts or direct scenes. Yet they decide…
Artificial Intelligence—once the stuff of science fiction—now quietly shapes decisions that matter profoundly in people’s lives: who gets a job interview, whether a loan is approved, how healthcare is administered, and even the length of a prison sentence. The promise of AI has always been seductive: a future where decisions are swift, data-driven, and, above…
Every company says it’s “exploring AI.”Many claim they’re already “AI-powered.”Very few are honest about why they’re rushing in — or what happens if they don’t. Artificial intelligence has moved from the periphery of business strategy to its core with remarkable speed. In boardrooms, earnings calls, and internal roadmaps, AI is no longer framed as an…
AI didn’t take over overnight. There was no single moment when professionals collectively decided to hand their work to machines. Instead, AI crept in quietly — one automation here, one recommendation engine there — until it became less of a novelty and more of an invisible colleague. Today, many of the most impactful AI tools…
Innovation didn’t suddenly get faster. It got more collective. Innovation rarely announces where it comes from. By the time a product reaches scale or a breakthrough hits the mainstream, the groundwork has usually been laid somewhere quieter — in shared conversations, late-night threads, collaborative experiments, and communities built around curiosity rather than profit. That’s where…
In an industry that reinvents itself every few years, relevance has become a moving target — and even the best are struggling to keep up. Relevance Is No Longer a Given In tech, relevance used to mean mastering a skill, building experience, and climbing steadily upward. Today, that formula no longer works. Frameworks fade. Platforms…
From how we work and learn to how we govern and connect, technology is quietly — and permanently — rewriting the rules of society. The Future Is Already in Motion Technology rarely changes society overnight. Instead, it reshapes norms gradually — until suddenly, the old ways feel impossible to return to. Today, advances in artificial…
Capital Is Now a Strategic Force Venture capital has always played a role in technology. However, today its influence is deeper, broader, and more complex than ever before. In the past, venture capital primarily helped startups get off the ground. Now, it helps decide which ideas receive oxygen — and which quietly disappear. As a…
For every breakout success, thousands of tech startups quietly shut down — often long before the public ever notices. Failure Is the Default, Not the Exception Startup failure is often portrayed as shocking. However, within the tech ecosystem, it is surprisingly normal. In fact, while success stories dominate headlines, the reality is far less glamorous.…
