𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐫. Today at VivaTech, I had the chance to speak about the real impact of AI on the future of work— Not just automation. Not just productivity. But how it rewires the way we think, decide, and grow. I was honored to share the stage with Sofia Merlo (BNP Paribas) and Peter Brown (PwC)—two leaders I deeply admire. And a big thank you to PwC, our trusted partner, for making this conversation happen. 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝: 🧠 1. AI’s first disruption? Your brain. A major study shows mental well-being drops after the first 50+ Gen-AI conversations—then climbs again. We don’t just need training. We need psychological adaptation. 📈 2. Enterprise AI adoption moves in waves: • Wave 1: Silent experiments by employees → 30 minutes saved daily • Wave 2: Companies codify use cases → real margin lift • Wave 3: Full operating model reboot around skills, not job titles 🎯 3. The new must-have skills? The “4 Cs” of Jeremy Lamri (Tomorrow Theory) Communication. Collaboration. Critical thinking. Creativity. They’re the antidote to AI hallucinations and siloed thinking. 💡 4. Talent density beats headcount. Cursor hit $100M ARR in year one—with ~18 people. This is what AI-leveraged companies look like. 🌀 5. Are jobs at risk? Yes—but… History shows we’re great at forecasting what’s lost, and terrible at imagining what’s born. Entire categories didn’t exist 15 years ago. As Sofia said: reinvention doesn’t just happen. It needs intentional companies—those that train, pace, and protect. 🔐 6. The only resilient strategy: Skills-First. Whether you’re a bank, a factory, or a scale-up—skills-based decisions are your best hedge against uncertainty. The companies that win in AI… Won’t be the ones with the best models. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲’𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬. Let’s keep building. #AI #FutureOfWork #Leadership #SkillsFirst #HumanCentricTech #Neobrain #PwC #BNPParibas #VivaTech2025

I’m happy to share my first co-authored, peer-reviewed publication, just published by Springer, written together with Alex Norta and Indrek Ibrus. 🔗 Abstract: https://lnkd.in/d7mf9BTm The article explores a peer-to-peer (p2p) media distribution model. With the rise of AI, we’re just beginning to unlock the true potential of decentralised distribution. My prediction stands: the era of exploitative, content-limited, and inconvenient centralised walled-garden platforms is heading for its grave. The future belongs to sustainable, community-driven models where audiences with AI-powered p2p distribution delivers the films you actually want, and pay the artists what they actually deserve. Far from being a relic of the past, p2p will be amplified by AI and will become the new norm. #AI #P2P #FutureOfMedia #Decentralisation #FilmIndustry #Web3

Ever heard of PICO XR? When we talk about XR, the conversation often revolves around Meta, Apple, and Sony Interactive Entertainment. But there’s another oft overlooked key player: PICO XR. Acquired by ByteDance in 2021, PICO has been expanding its presence in the enterprise and consumer VR space, particularly in Asia and Europe. Their latest headset, the PICO 4 (as well as 4 Ultra and 4 Enterprise), is a strong competitor to the Meta Quest lineup, offering impressive hardware and a sleek design. While it hasn’t made a major push into the U.S. market, its performance in enterprise XR solutions—especially in training, healthcare, and social VR—has been notable. With ByteDance backing, PICO has access to vast resources, AI expertise, and a deep understanding of consumer engagement (thanks to TikTok). They could pose a serious challenge to Meta's global position in standalone VR. Will PICO become a true XR powerhouse, or will it remain a regional player? Either way, they’re a company worth watching. Is this your first time hearing about them? If not, what do you think about their position in the XR market?

Meta AI Just Released Llama 4 Scout and Llama 4 Maverick: The First Set of Llama 4 Models Today, Meta AI announced the release of its latest generation multimodal models, Llama 4, featuring two variants: Llama 4 Scout and Llama 4 Maverick. These models represent significant technical advancements in multimodal AI, offering improved capabilities for both text and image understanding. Llama 4 Scout is a 17-billion-active-parameter model structured with 16 expert modules. It introduces an extensive context window capable of accommodating up to 10 million tokens. This substantial context capacity enables the model to manage and interpret extensive textual content effectively, beneficial for long-form document processing, complex codebases, and detailed dialogue tasks. In comparative evaluations, Llama 4 Scout has demonstrated superior performance relative to contemporary models such as Gemma 3, Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite, and Mistral 3.1 across recognized benchmark datasets.....

"The first ever global study measuring the economic impact of AI in the music and audiovisual sectors calculates that Generative AI will enrich tech companies while substantially jeopardising the income of human creators in the next five years. Despite providing the creative fuel of the “Gen AI” content market, music and audiovisual creators will see respectively 24% and 21% of their revenues at risk by 2028. This amounts to a cumulative loss of €22 billion (AU$35 billion) over the five-year period (€10 billion/$AU$16 billion in music; €12 billion/$AU19 billion in audiovisual)." Reporting by APRA AMCOS The people who are being damaged the most by AI are those whose work has been stolen by Silicon Valley tech companies. Individual creators - ironically those who contribute the most to culture - the humanities industry are being cloned by the artificial industry This is not about improving productivity - it is about some companies getting away with grandscale theft and making themselves super rich. Support your local artists - buy their merch, go to their concerts, buy them a coffee - without creatives we have no culture without culture we have no soul in civilization.
