Anabology's Escape Velocity sets a fear many business leaders carry to music: a window is closing. I don't believe AI creates a permanent underclass. I think it reorders the ladder, and the next eighteen months, as AI moves into the disruption of markets and supply chains, will largely decide who climbs and who falls.

I don't want to buy car insurance any more. I want my AI agent to handle it, dealing with the insurer's AI agent. The share of the economy that works that way is the best early-warning indicator we have for the AI revolution hitting markets. The Agent Economy Index is a way to measure it, with a first reading and the thresholds that mean take-off.

A ten-year-old taught there are four states of matter asked an AI and came back with fifteen. For the first time a child's why can run to its end, and that is the clearest signal of what AI has changed.

My second SSRN paper is out. 'Will AI take my job?' is the wrong question. The right one is what happens to human economic value when intelligence becomes cheap, and the answer is that the bottleneck moves to purpose.

My first SSRN working paper is out. It takes the Purpose, Execution, Judgement framework I first wrote about on LinkedIn, integrates it with the AI Capability model, and sets out six propositions for testing.

A keynote to two hundred recruitment leaders, built around a monk on Lindisfarne, a bicycle, and one uncomfortable question: how many people are you prepared to let overtake you?

An evening webinar for Manchester Metropolitan University on one practical question: if you're not a techie, where do you start with AI? My answer is the juice.

My TEDxWarrington talk is out. It starts in 1991 with a dial-up modem and my dad, and ends with a pilot flying into a storm.

My LTSE2023 talk on what generative AI means for higher education, six months after ChatGPT launched: the 4x knowledge worker, why planning by committee won't work, and the pilot in the storm.
