  Monday Feb 16th is Presidents' day in the USA. The word we all associate with Presidents is Leadership. Leadership has been endlessly dissected and ultimately even with the advent of technology the fundamentals of leadership has not changed. The following would be applicable to leaders from all walks of life, Leaders should have the ability to inspire others to action. It is getting people to do things which they normally would not have done without the leader’s intervention.

Agentic AI

Generative AI, the bedrock of artificial intelligence which creates new content—from text and code to images and video—is reshaping the software industry faster than anyone imagined when the Sputnik moment of Nov 2022 came in play. The pace is staggering. Meta’s Llama 3 family, expanded through 2024, pushed open‑source boundaries with large‑scale models that set new benchmarks in coding, multilingual understanding, and complex reasoning—establishing a foundation for the Llama 4 series expected to further advance multimodal and mixture‑of‑experts approaches into 2026. In 2026, the ecosystem has accelerated dramatically. OpenAI’s next‑generation GPT‑5 platform builds on the trajectory set after GPT‑4, focusing on persistent memory, integrated voice, and real‑time multimodal reasoning—marking a shift toward assistants that can maintain richer context over time and support more complex, multi‑step tasks. Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.5, introduced in late 2025, is positioned as its most capab...

We hear this phrase all the time, but the more pertinent question is how humans will find meaning and purpose in an AI-saturated world. As we enter 2026, AI isn’t just transforming industries—it’s fundamentally reshaping how we work, create, and live. With the World Economic Forum this year a lot of the world leaders have put AI at the forefront of the strategy for 2026 and beyond. Responsible AI is the key to a successful technological revolution. Leaders from Google have also said we are 5 to 10 years from when AGI will be real. This is a great time to really understand what humans can do to stay relevant in the age of dramatic disruption. On the positive side, AI continues to save lives and solve complex problems. In healthcare, AI models are now detecting diseases earlier and personalizing treatment plans with unprecedented precision. Autonomous vehicles are gradually reducing traffic fatalities in pilot ...
