Switch from prompt engineering to intent engineering—describe desired outcomes instead of step‑by‑step instructions—as AI improves, our guidance becomes counterproductive over time.

True AI creativity requires subjective experience and intrinsic drives, not just mimicry, and creating such AI would impose ethical responsibilities for their suffering.

Multiple converging transitions—knowledge diffusion, API-first business, AI-driven enterprise graphs, and post-corporate human work—reshape society around agent-mediated, bespoke, and automated systems.

AI agents will transform cybersecurity in 2026 by enabling asset management, replacing security tools with prompts, and shifting value from credentials to AI-augmented skills.
