The AI Revolution How we got here

  In just a few short years, AI has leapt from clever autocomplete to something closer to an always-on collaborator—one that can reason across million-token contexts, navigate complex software on our behalf, and even act autonomously in the background. The pace is staggering: frontier models now rival human experts in coding, long-horizon planning, and multimodal understanding, while billion‑dollar “agentic” labs and ecosystems are racing to turn these capabilities into superhuman digital teammates for individuals and enterprises alike. For example, Anthropic released Claude Sonnet 4.6, which in many benchmarks performs at near-parity with its most powerful model, Opus 4.6, while costing roughly one-fifth as much—dramatically lowering the barrier to deploying state-of-the-art reasoning systems at scale. The progress of technology has been breathtaking, to say the least. Opus 4.8 has been released end of May and it has sharper judgement. Earlier this month, Anthropic released Claude...

The AI that teaches itself

  There is a moment in every true technological revolution when the tool stops merely improving work—and starts improving itself. We are rapidly approaching that moment with Artificial Intelligence, and most enterprise leaders are simply not ready for what comes next. At Microsoft Build, the definitive shift toward agentic AI became undeniable with capabilities like Scout—deeply integrating with Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Teams, OneDrive) to autonomously orchestrate tasks such as scheduling, expense management, and complex communication workflows. This is not an isolated development; it is part of a broader, exponential acceleration in enterprise capability. Having spent over two decades leading large-scale digital transformations across diverse domains, I see Generative AI carrying all the familiar risks of legacy shifts: cultural resistance, integration bottlenecks, and slow adoption. However, it introduces something fundamentally unprecedented: the credible potential for recursive ...
