Jan. 1, 2026 /Mpelembe Media/ — In 2026, you are protected by a new generation of laws—specifically Article 86 of the EU AI Act and Article 22 of the UK/EU GDPR. These laws give you a “Right to Explanation” when a “high-risk” AI (the kind used in the AI Economy for jobs, loans, or insurance) makes a decision about you. Continue reading
Dec. 31, 2025 /Mpelembe Media/ — As of 2025, the global economy is projected to reach approximately $115 trillion, even as it faces a staggering $338 trillion in total debt. Within this landscape, artificial intelligence has emerged as the foundational infrastructure of a Fifth Industrial Revolution, with the AI economy expected to contribute over $15.7 trillion to global GDP by 2030. This technological shift is characterized by the rise of AI sovereignty, where control over data and models defines geopolitical power. While automation and AI agents enhance productivity and business valuations, they also present significant risks regarding cybersecurity and the potential erosion of human identity. Ultimately, society faces a critical choice between using these tools to foster human dignity or allowing them to create a future defined by algorithmic surveillance and control. Continue reading
Dec. 29, 2025 /Mpelembe Media/ — This edX and Workplace Intelligence report examines how artificial intelligence is fundamentally transforming the modern professional landscape. The findings reveal a significant skill gap, as executives anticipate that nearly half of current workforce capabilities will be obsolete by 2025. While leadership believes many roles—including executive positions—could be automated, entry-level staff are particularly vulnerable to displacement. Despite a strong desire among staff to gain AI proficiency, many organisations currently lack the robust training and development frameworks necessary to support this transition. Ultimately, the research suggests that companies must prioritise internal upskilling to retain talent and remain competitive in an increasingly automated economy. Continue reading
Black Lotus Ventures, an Atlanta-based AI studio, outlines the successful use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for content automation and marketing execution. The firm detailed a case study where they transformed an obscure exercise device into a viral product, generating $3.5 million in revenue and over 100 million views in just eight months. This success was achieved through a strategic “Hybrid-AI” framework built upon four central pillars, which included using machine learning for market research and deploying AI avatars to scale user-generated content. A key result highlighted was a single AI-designed video that quickly generated $800,000 in revenue in a 30-day period. Founded by a former Meta product manager, the company suggests this methodology represents a new wave of marketing where AI solutions are used to amplify human ingenuity at scale, offering proven commercial viability across market segments.

Nov. 25, 2025 /Mpelembe Media/ — The provided text details the inauguration of the “Genesis Mission”, a significant artificial intelligence (AI) initiative launched through an executive order signed by President Donald Trump in November 2025. This federal effort is aimed at dramatically accelerating American AI research, development, and application, particularly in scientific fields, and has been compared to the historical Manhattan Project in its urgency and ambition. The mission intends to leverage vast federal datasets and expand computational resources to create sophisticated AI models, with goals including strengthening national security and accelerating scientific discovery. This initiative builds upon existing frameworks like the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR) and involves partnerships with key figures and agencies, such as the Department of Energy, to establish essential infrastructure like the “American Science and Security Platform.” Continue reading
Nov. 23, 2025 /Mpelembe Media/ — ExperienceBypass™, an advisory firm, announced their new report titled “The Real AI Bubble.” This report, authored by CEO Honorio J. Padron, warns that the AI market faces a structural collapse, arguing the actual bubble is architectural, not financial. The core thesis is that tens of thousands of smaller AI point solution companies will disappear over the next 36 to 48 months as global enterprises consolidate their technology around a few AI Native Platforms (or “AI Factories”) such as NVIDIA and Palantir. This consolidation is driven by the failure of most enterprise AI pilots and a demand for unified architecture, mirroring the standardisation seen in the ERP sector during the 1990s. Padron asserts that non-integrated point solutions lack a place as the AI Enabled Enterprise™ becomes the new operating model, acting as the central nervous system for modern businesses.

Nov. 2, 2025 /Mpelembe Media/ — The white paper from Google outlines their AI Classification for Google Drive solution, which uses custom, privacy-preserving AI models to automatically identify and label an organisation’s sensitive data at scale. The document explains that this capability addresses the challenge of manually classifying the exponentially increasing volume of data in Google Workspace, providing a more robust foundation for data protection, auditing, and records management.

Oct. 29, 2025 /Mpelembe Media/ –The strategic imperatives that define success for technology leaders navigating the AI-powered, hyperconnected world are captured within the three themes of the Gartner Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends for 2026. These trends are considered strategic imperatives that demand thoughtful consideration and decisive action from technology leaders. Continue reading
The launch of Carbon3.ai is billed as the UK’s first truly sovereign and sustainable AI platform. This new initiative plans to deploy a nationwide AI Mesh with over 100,000 GPUs, powered by its own renewable energy generation and supported by significant planned investment exceeding £1 billion. The platform aims to offer UK enterprises and government a secure, low-latency, high-performance AI compute alternative with a smaller carbon footprint and lower cost than competitors.
