Applied AISpaceX revenue rises 161% to $14.6B as AI business overtakes Starlink

If you depend on GPU access, assume nontraditional providers with their own power and real estate will be credible alternatives to hyperscalers within a few years.
Applied AIWhen technology becomes part of the talent infrastructure
If AI-ready PCs and device strategy are now framed as “talent infrastructure,” IT spend is quietly becoming a retention lever, not just a cost center. HR, IT, and line leaders should be co-owning device standards and AI access, because it will show up in both engagement scores and output.
Applied AIDemis Hassabis says he expects AGI within two to three years, down from his three-to-five-year prediction earlier in 2026, and discusses AI's science potential
When a leading lab compresses its AGI timeline from 3–5 years to 2–3, your planning horizon just got pulled forward whether you believe the forecast or not. Treat this as a scenario input: stress-test your IP, regulatory, and workforce assumptions against a world where frontier capability steps up meaningfully before 2030.
