By Martin Recke AI is completing a long-running conversion of human agency into automated execution. Which world are we building, and for whom? When the agent acts: agentic AI and the commercial logic that follows By Martin Recke When agentic AI mediates commerce, business models change fundamentally. Here’s what that shift means for competitive advantage. We were wrong about blockchain. We’re making the same mistake with AI. By Martin Recke The blockchain hype cycle ran from 2016 to 2022. We covered it, then stopped. Revisiting that arc reveals a pattern now repeating with AI. When AI learns to think in three dimensions: world models, robotics, and the physics problem By Martin Recke World models could revolutionise robotics by teaching AI physics. But data bottlenecks and infrastructure limits delay real-world deployment. AI’s best infrastructure bet By Martin Recke While Microsoft’s CEO warns of an AI bubble, the real infrastructure bet is clear: renewables capture half of data center growth. Nuclear lags years behind. CES 2026: When AI hit the infrastructure wall By Martin Recke The Las Vegas tech showcase revealed that artificial intelligence’s real bottleneck isn’t algorithmic brilliance – it’s the unglamorous physics of power, cooling, and manufacturing capacity. The invisible infrastructure revolution: how AI and markets are quietly winning the energy transition By Martin Recke The energy transition is succeeding invisibly. AI infrastructure and market economics are driving the shift to clean energy faster than policy ever could. The age of multiple endings: when everything that stands begins to fall By Martin Recke Are we witnessing the end of modernity? The post-war order, neoliberal globalisation, shared truth, and work are dissolving. We inhabit the interregnum. Rethinking intelligence By Martin Recke Neuroscience and AI have both reached a phase where one helps us to better understand the other. It is time to rethink intelligence. The magic of AI in healthcare By Martin Recke AI won’t replace human healthcare professionals, but it is well-equipped to augment their work, improving efficiency and accuracy. The work crisis By Martin Recke Work is a huge part of our lives and societies, but it is in a deep, fundamental crisis. The reasons are manifold and erode the dignity of work. It’s time to act. The rise of information networks By Martin Recke A recap of NEXT24 through the lens of networks and their rise, from computers to the brain, from democracy to energy. The philosophy of tech By Martin Recke Some of the burning questions about tech, AI or robotics are actually questions of philosophy. What is our true goal here? AI as new media By Martin Recke Generative AI will create new media forms where artists and creative technologists are both at the forefront and at risk of being put out of business. A new interface paradigm By Martin Recke Computing is expanding in two dimensions. Will conversational AI lead to a new interface paradigm? And what does that mean? The digital-physical merger By Martin Recke The next big thing isn’t AI itself, but the interplay of intelligence, data, networks/computing and energy. Capability overhang, or the future of AI By Martin Recke The future of AI depends on what we imagine today. While we explore our new capabilities, imagination is the bottleneck. AI Art: using generative art to enhance the human experience By Adam Tinworth Artists like REEPS100 are paving the way for using AI to enhance human life, not replace human workers. The office of the future won’t arrive anytime soon By Martin Recke We still don’t know what the office of the future will look like. But thanks to AI and the permacrisis, it will be leaner than before. NEXT23 theme: Let’s get physical By Martin Recke The digital revolution is entering a new phase. It will lead to a fusion of digital and physical, and a rewrite of how the world works. AI and the future of work By Martin Recke AI is going to change how we work. It will automate white-collar work. And we’ll see AI-first start-ups creating new markets. Will AI eat software? By Martin Recke Software used to be expensive, but thanks to AI, it may soon be cheap. Will software developers lose their jobs? What we can see now is the first percent of what is coming By Oskar Trautmann, Wilhelm Rinke An interview with Merantix Founder and AI Expert Adrian Locher. prev 1 2 next
