Artificial Intelligence is a transformative, dual-use infrastructure that has become a central focus of global policy, governance, and capital investment. Beyond its role as a pervasive industrial trend, the technology is increasingly utilized for surveillance, military operations, and synthetic content generation. As it evolves, it is being evaluated for its speed and efficacy in identifying opportunities compared to human capabilities.
“I think what I've seen over the past 10 years is this technology going from being a twinkle in some researcher's eye to being real and existing in the world. And by this technology I essentially mean general purpose AI.”
“I believe that, you know, we saw a good amount of that, you know, come to fruition in 2025. We're going to see much more of that in 2026.”
“this is like I said it's this is early days in this AI revolution.”
“I think my base case is that we continue to be in a jobless expansion, that the economy can have positive growth, but we just don't see a lot of workers as this stuff gets integrated. I think that's continuing.”
“Whether as a result of increase in productivity and we all recognize that artificial intelligence may have quite a lot to do with that.”
“the times we're talking about now with achieving I mean many people myself included I'm persuaded that we've already achieved artificial general intelligence and people keep like moving the goal post and not really admit that but I think we're already there.”
“AI robots will exceed the working population within a few decades as more firms adopt AI agents and continue to squeeze costs. We're going to go over the next couple of decades to more moving robots than working population. And then you add on agents, digital agents, and it is going to explode.”
“I saw that there were AI images of a church downtown being burnt and you know that really created panic for those of us that live here.”
“what are those disembodied intelligence-based jobs? Those are all going to go away. And it might be a better way to think of this. Those are all going to change dramatically.”
“If we cannot upgrade skill of low income people, then you will will have more inequalities, especially AI. AI you can create more K-shaped recovery or K-shaped growth.”
“It stands for artificial general intelligence, and it really refers to a system that can understand and learn and apply knowledge across a whole range of tasks that are comparable to that of a human being. We don’t have intelligence in just one narrow and very specific domain, but we’re able to interact and operate in the physical world.”
“I think what AI in its current form does is really reducing barriers to entry in knowledge work. I think there's a real opportunity for emerging economies to pursue service-led growth in large part because of developments in artificial intelligence.”
“AI robots will exceed the working population within a few decades as more firms adopt AI agents and continue to squeeze costs. Our former city executive warned on Monday. Rob Garlic, City Global Insights, former head of innovation technology and future work.”
“I'm a huge proponent of regulating social media, of regulating AI.”
“If I have your genetic sequencing and your blood work... and I put all that into the AI algorithm and we begin to track you in real time in your 30s, we are going to know years before a chronic disease ever shows up on your doorstep.”
“AI adoption in a lot of companies, you know, we're seeing leaner headcounts at a lot of companies. So now youth unemployment or unemployment of my age group is also hitting record highs.”
