Last week, I discovered a text that seemed written specifically for this mission. It wasn’t a tech roadmap or a market analysis—it was the first major address by Blaise Metreweli, the Head of MI6. I spent 45 minutes immersed in her arguments, and I can tell you: they are formidable. She speaks of a world being remade by technology, but anchored by something much more powerful: Human Agency. In a landscape of shifting global powers and algorithmic noise, her vision for 2026 provides the exact clarity we need as we build for the future.

The AI revolution has settled the debate: Repetitive, scalable work is quickly becoming the domain of machines. This shift forces a profound strategic question for every individual and organization: What is the defining human role when automation takes the lead?

Over the last few months, I’ve been asked one question again and again: Where are OpenAI and Google actually heading? Not the hype. Not the noise. The real trajectory — economic, technical, and strategic.
