Who Should Own AI StrategyAI Is Not an IT Project. It Is a Leadership Test.By Tim Glomb Jr. Most companies are approaching AI the wrong way. They're buying tools, launching pilots, and telling employees to "use more AI"—while the business itself stays fundamentally unchanged. The same inefficient workflows. The same fragmented systems. The same endless meetings and manual reporting. The same people acting as human glue between disconnected processes. That's not transformation. That's motion.

Nominiert für den Deutschen Sachbuchpreis 2026 Für die Philosophie gehört die Sprache zu den wichtigsten Eigenschaften des Menschen: Sie ermöglicht es, eine ganze Welt zu erschließen, Gedanken zu artikulieren, sich über Wertvorstellungen zu verständigen – und ist entscheidend für die Freiheit und Souveränität, mit denen Menschen ihr Leben führen. Was aber geschieht, wenn wir uns von einer Sprachmaschine die Welt erklären, Werte vermitteln und das Denken abnehmen lassen? Gewöhnen uns ChatGPT und Co. das Lesen, Schreiben und Denken ab? Überreden sie uns zu Ansichten, die wir gar nicht haben?

What happens when machines can see, hear, learn, and make decisions in real time? How are artificial intelligence, robotics, autonomous systems, and edge computing transforming the world around us? From self-driving vehicles and intelligent robots to AI-powered assistants and smart cities, we are living through one of the most significant technological revolutions in human history. The systems being developed today are laying the foundation for a future where intelligent machines operate alongside humans, process information instantly, and solve increasingly complex challenges.

A Platform Mindset is a leadership book that shows how organizations can unlock scale and innovation by combining long-term platform investments with a culture of collaboration, trust, and shared purpose. Marcus Fontoura's career, and indeed this book, has largely been about the ethos needed to build powerful platforms. A tech platform is a reusable system that implements a core piece of functionality, such as identity. In this case, an identity platform provides a solution for users to log-in to multiple services.

You've tried AI. You typed a prompt, got a generic response you'd never show your boss, and spent more time fixing the output than it would have taken to do the work yourself. The problem isn't the technology, and it isn't you. The problem is simple: this technology is advancing so fast that nobody taught you how to communicate with AI at the level your work demands. Most AI books hand you prompt lists that expire or offer beginner content you could find for free online, instead of teaching you how to "speak machine." The Prompt Hero Method is different.

Discover the invisible infrastructure reshaping the world’s largest asset class. For over a century, commercial real estate operated on an analog playbook. Deals were won through local monopolies, personal Rolodexes, and a "ledger-in-head" mentality. Investment committees relied on out-of-date demographic reports, primitive paper maps, and the subjective "gut feel" of seasoned operators. That era is over. The latency between asking a question and answering it has approached zero, and the competitive edge has fundamentally shifted.

Knowledge graphs model relationships between the objects, events, situations, and concepts in your domain so you can readily identify important patterns in your own data and make better decisions. Paired up with LLMs, they promise huge potential for working with structured and unstructured enterprise data, building recommendation systems, developing fraud detection mechanisms, delivering customer service chatbots, or more. This book provides tools and techniques for efficiently organizing data, modeling a knowledge graph, and incorporating KGs into the functioning of LLMs—and vice versa.

In January 2015, Craig Wright was facing financial ruin, with the Australian Taxation Office having uncovered a potentially criminal operation involving his raft of companies. Six months later he was sitting pretty, having signed a bailout deal that settled his tax affairs and afforded him a dream job in England. Somehow, Wright had turned it around. In truth, Wright had accepted a ticking time bomb. The deal that saved him was predicated on one very important premise: that he was Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin.

The Software Engineering industry often evaluates engineers based on how many lines of code they write, how many years of experience they have, or how many features they ship. But I think a more powerful metric is the number of bugs they encountered, reproduced, traced to their root cause and fixed. Those experiences shape an engineer far more than raw output or time served in my opinion, let me elaborate. Bugs hinder the stability of software, which affects the user experience.

Himalayan Compute argues Nepal can become a global AI infrastructure powerhouse by converting its vast hydropower potential into exportable compute. As AI demand explodes, electricity, cooling, and data centers become the new strategic bottleneck—making cheap, renewable baseload power a national advantage. The book presents a 10-year roadmap to scale from Phase 1 clusters to multi-gigawatt AI campuses and trillion-dollar valuation territory. It emphasizes this must be a private, Silicon Valley-style startup, with Nepal’s government enabling speed through a One Desk Policy.
