What technology comes after AI ? That is a very big question that we discuss and reveal in this book.. What comes next after AI is not a single technology or breakthrough, but a continuous evolution in how humans and machines collaborate, how organizations create value, and how society navigates the implications of augmented intelligence. The leaders who grasp this reality—who see AI not as an end but as a beginning—will be best positioned to shape what emerges and shape their future. This collection of insights aims to prepare you not just for the AI era, but for what lies beyond: a ...

"We are sleepwalking into a future where AI agents know everything about us, remember everything about us, and share that knowledge in ways we can't track or control. This book is your wake-up call." AI systems are increasingly becoming the archivists of human existence, quietly recording and categorizing the mundane details that collectively form our digital identities. Every search query, purchase, social media post, and location ping feeds vast databases that construct detailed profiles of our preferences, habits, and behaviors. Recommendation algorithms on streaming platforms know our ...

This comprehensive examination of the NSA arrives at a critical moment in American history. We live in an era where the boundaries between foreign and domestic, public and private, security and liberty are increasingly blurred by technology that would have seemed like science fiction just a generation ago. Artificial intelligence processes billions of communications in milliseconds. Quantum computers threaten to render current encryption obsolete. Nation-states wage war in cyberspace with weapons that can disable power grids and disrupt democratic elections. In this environment, the ...

Along the Pacific Northwest coast, from Northern California through Oregon, Washington, and into British Columbia, millions of people go about their daily lives largely unaware that they are living atop one of the most dangerous geological features on Earth. The Cascadia Subduction Zone represents a sleeping giant, a threat so immense that when it awakens, it will reshape the landscape, economy, and lives of everyone in its path. This is not a question of if, but when. The geological record speaks with clarity that few wish to acknowledge. Every three hundred to six hundred years, on ...

The story of Göbekli Tepe's discovery is as much about what wasn't seen as what was finally recognized. For decades, the low, rounded mound in southeastern Turkey was dismissed as nothing more than a medieval cemetery—an assumption that delayed one of archaeology's most significant discoveries until 1994. Today, with artificial intelligence transforming how we analyze landscapes and detect patterns invisible to the human eye, a compelling question emerges: could modern AI have identified this 14,500-year-old temple complex decades earlier?

Perhaps nowhere is DARPA's paradoxical nature more evident than in its relationship with time. The agency was built on the premise that transformative innovation requires patient capital and long-term thinking—the willingness to invest in research that may not yield practical applications for decades. This philosophy produced the internet, GPS, and countless other technologies that took years or even decades to mature into world-changing capabilities. Yet DARPA now operates in an environment where innovation cycles are compressing dramatically. Advances in artificial intelligence, ...

The hypersonic age has arrived; whether it becomes an era of uncontrolled competition and crisis or one of managed stability and restraint depends on choices being made now and in the near future. This book has attempted to illuminate the challenges, analyze the dynamics, and propose responses. The outcomes, however, will be determined not by analysis but by action—or inaction—in the world’s capitals, military establishments, and public squares. The stakes could hardly be higher. The fundamental choice facing humanity is whether we will control hypersonic weapons or whether they will ...

This book represents a paradigm shift in how we study Britain's stone circles. The authors have masterfully woven together the latest advances in remote sensing, artificial intelligence, and digital archaeology to create a comprehensive guide to what these technologies reveal about our Neolithic ancestors. From the windswept highlands of Scotland to the rolling downs of Wessex, new discoveries are being made not through excavation, but through the application of LIDAR, ground-penetrating radar, and machine learning algorithms. The timing of this work could not be more crucial. Climate ...

Chinese AI became globally competitive not just in applications but in foundation models. The combination of advanced chips, massive data, strong research institutions, and creative freedom produced systems that rivaled anything developed in Silicon Valley. More importantly, Chinese AI research contributed novel architectures and approaches—not just catching up but genuine innovation that advanced the field globally. The AI safety frameworks China developed became influential worldwide, especially in developing countries concerned about AI governance. Globally, China became an attractive ...

Talking to whales, then, is not just about the whales. It is about us, about our need for connection, about our desire to repair what we have broken. It is about finding our way back to the community of life from which we have exiled ourselves. The implications for Earth's ecological crisis are impossible to ignore. We live in an age of catastrophic biodiversity loss, with species vanishing at rates not seen since the asteroid impact that killed the dinosaurs. Climate change, ocean acidification, habitat destruction—the litany of environmental disasters has become so familiar it risks ...

The Choice Before Us: Extinction or Evolution We stand at a threshold unlike any our species has faced. The Sixth Extinction unfolds around us—not in geological deep time, but in real time, measured in human lifetimes, in the span between a grandparent's birth and a grandchild's adulthood. The question before us is stark: Will we become the architects of a Seventh Distinction—the first mass extinction caused by a species that understood what it was doing and chose to do it anyway? This is not a choice between convenience and sacrifice, between economy and ecology. It is a choice between...

Are you ready for an AI Future? The arrival of artificial intelligence into our daily lives represents more than a technological shift—it marks a profound transformation in how we work, think, and relate to the world around us. For many of us, this transition brings uncertainty, anxiety, and resistance. The temptation to retreat into familiar patterns or reject these changes outright is understandable. Yet history shows us that those who thrive during periods of disruption are not necessarily those with the most resources or technical knowledge, but those who can adapt their mindset to ...

The emergence of autonomous weapons systems—commonly referred to as "killer robots" in popular discourse—represents one of the most consequential technological developments in modern warfare. These systems, capable of selecting and engaging targets without direct human control, are not merely theoretical constructs but increasingly tangible realities that demand urgent examination of their profound implications for international security, conflict dynamics, and the very nature of warfare itself. Let us consider this in the book

The Transformative Power of AI in Global Education Education stands at a crossroads. While billions of students around the world seek knowledge and opportunity, traditional educational systems strain under the weight of growing populations, limited resources, and the persistent challenge of inequality. Into this landscape emerges artificial intelligence—not as a replacement for human teachers, but as a powerful catalyst for democratizing learning on an unprecedented scale. The promise of AI in education extends far beyond simple automation. In rural villages where qualified teachers are ...

In the summer of 2017, Vladimir Putin made a declaration that would resonate across capitals worldwide: "Whoever becomes the leader in AI this sphere will become the ruler of the world." – and he is correct. He was speaking about artificial intelligence, and his words crystallized what policymakers and technologists around the world had begun to understand—AI would not merely be another technological advancement, but a fundamental shift in the distribution of global power. China understood this from a early timeframe and put in motion the resources to become the world’s dominant ...

In my book, I'm struck by a profound irony: the people in these pages—Walker, Hanssen, Ames, Manning, Snowden, and dozens of others—likely believed they were doing the right thing, at least at first. John Walker may have believed he was taking advantage of a bureaucratic system that undervalued him. Robert Hanssen may have convinced himself he was playing a game of intellectual one-upmanship with the FBI. Aldrich Ames convinced himself that intelligence work was futile and nobody was really hurt by his betrayals. Chelsea Manning believed she was exposing war crimes. Edward Snowden ...

A digital twin represents far more than a static computer-aided design model or a traditional simulation. At its core, a digital twin is a dynamic virtual representation of a physical object, process, or system that continuously learns and updates itself from multiple sources throughout its lifecycle. This virtual counterpart mirrors the life of its physical twin, incorporating real-time data, historical information, and predictive analytics to provide actionable insights that would be impossible to obtain from the physical entity alone. The fundamental distinction that separates digital ...

Two of humanity's most transformative innovations, artificial intelligence and nanotechnology, are converging in ways that promise to reshape our world at the most fundamental level. This convergence is not merely a meeting of disciplines; it represents a symbiotic relationship where each technology amplifies the capabilities of the other, creating possibilities that neither could achieve alone. Artificial intelligence has evolved from simple rule-based systems to sophisticated neural networks capable of discovering patterns invisible to human perception. Meanwhile, nanotechnology has ...

British security services work each day to keep the nation safe in an increasingly complex and dangerous world. The threats they face are diverse, sophisticated, and constantly evolving, ranging from terrorism and serious organized crime to cyber attacks and state-sponsored espionage. Meeting these challenges requires every tool available, including the most advanced artificial intelligence capabilities. But tools alone do not ensure security. What ultimately keeps Britain safe is the dedication, professionalism, and judgment of the men and women who serve in the security services, ...
