In the realms of technology and artificial intelligence, we’re witnessing a profound shift in human-machine interaction driven by Generative AI (Gen AI). This paper explores historical platform shifts, the unique nature of Gen AI, and the New Work Anatomy it proposes. It also addresses the technical foundations, opportunities, and risks associated with Gen AI, emphasizing that machines can now be true collaborative partners rather than mere tools.

Building Technology at the Genetic Level Executive Summary  Our ability to design and engineer biological components and systems at the genetic level has increased substantially over the previous decade. In 2010, the first self-replicating cell was created from artificial DNA, which was built by researchers out of chemically synthesized oligonucleotides. Since then, the cost per … Read more

Demystifying the Robotics Market

by

We believe that it is not a question of if, but when and how quickly collaborative robots and the surrounding software and services layer penetrate the global workforce at scale (most imminently the U.S. and China) amidst unprecedented technological convergence, rising labor costs, reduced productivity, and the emergence of the robots-as-a-service business model and full-stack solution providers.
