After my last post from the Astana International Forum yesterday, you asked about what kinds of #tech exactly are being or could be developed here. My quick answer below. I’d add #robotics for carbon-positive #minerals extraction, because Kazakhstan sits on substantial deposits. But

My interview on Azerbaijan’s AZLIVETV at the Astana International Forum. Azerbaijan's and the region's oil & gas reserves remain key fuel for the #AI, #data, and #chip-driven #CognitiveEconomy we discuss in "The Great Remobilization." But energy today must do double duty: power growth

At the Astana International Forum I discussed the importance of carbon neutrality in driving the advancement of #AI, #data, and #compute technologies for economic growth on Kazakhstan's channel KZ24. Transitioning towards electrification in transportation and manufacturing, we enhance

The Gur-e-Amir is one of the world’s first monuments to the Cognitive Economy. 600 yrs ago, Timur’s empire & Ulugh Beg’s science turned Samarkand and Bukhara into global hubs for knowledge. As #AI, #data, and compute redefine global flows, Central Asia may be regaining its place

Another parent award! Not quite Mars but still a stellar performance by the team 🚀 It’s our 6th out of 10 filings on frameworks and methods for advancing data provenance, ownership, privacy, conditional data access and trading. This patent introduces a configurable system

This is an important report, to which I was happy to contribute in depth. We often make the mistake of seeing technologies in very narrow fashion, but their impact and scaling happen at convergence points. See opportunity in our space mapping. Congrats @CathyLi, World Economic Forum and

For those of you interested in how "The Next Decade of AI Will Redefine Global Power," watch my panel at the Astana International Forum (marker 3:58:40). The Cognitive Economy requires a healthy agency-respecting data economy, digital sovereignty but also interoperability via sandbox

My interview on Quazakstan TV (marker 0:30) with a young colleague who was new to this and did a great job. The Kazakh and greater Central Asian economies will depend on interconnecting sandbox experiments between global #AI hubs to drive growth as countries aim for digital

Hats off to my brilliant co-authors Tobias Straube and Manu Kalia —and to the World Economic Forum for publishing our latest. 💡 The age of aimless AI experimentation is over. Every deployment must live in a strategic portfolio—with clear metrics, real adoption readiness, and a line of sight to

Thanks, team Galileo at Germany’s Pro7 and especially Antonia Naumann Mangoldt for the engaging interview on the Trump #tariff gameplan and the risks involved. Re-setting trade terms with #China is a good thing and has been too long in coming. But I still don't see any

What to make of US #eliteuniversities? How do they compare to China and Germany? What role do they play in innovation and entrepreneurship? Why are they under fire from #Trump? What needs to improve? Listen in on the conversation with the Galileo team. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/gal…

Thanks Capgemini. It was a pleasure to share my thinking. It's indeed a critically important moment for Design Activist Leaders, seeing new building blocks amid the chaos for more resilient system futures. I meet them. They just haven't made the news and punched through.

This July 4th feels subdued—and with good reason. Still, I won’t abandon the American experiment. We stumble, we self-correct, and we heal. I believe in a courageous America that will rediscover its soul and its unity, the nation that rebuilt my native Germany and now helps

4th of July at SFO airport. Meet Alexander Sehlke, an astro-geologist at renowned NASA Ames Research Center examining moon rocks for materials we can use to live and work on it as we stage for Mars. His army-style pack made me mistake him for a soldier. In a way, he is—serving

Fascinating as always Lingling Wei 魏玲灵 . Vacuum invites counter-pressure (Clausewitz). Thanks for sharing. But will the “fuel” be there, given the lack of focus on domestic consumption, that domestic growth has likely been lower and unemployment higher than what Beijing has been

Day 1 of my talks and workshops here in Kyiv, equipping local financiers and SME managers with strategic foresight and #AI skills, thanks to Kateryna Akymenko, Gauthier Vasseur and team at DATAWISE. This city pulses with agile, frugal innovation—especially in autonomy and

Great luncheon today with Olaf J Groth PhD discussing his book, "The Great Remobilization" and the five Cs: COVID, China, Cyber, Crypto, and the Cognitive revolution - which will drive economic and political decisions for the near-term.

Thanks for the good conversation, Frank Lavin. Shaping the future architecture of our shared "global economy 2.0" is of utmost urgency and should be a bipartisan act. The circle you have assembled is an exceptional example of calibre cutting across political, sectoral and
