Welcome to the Future

The media world is undergoing the most dramatic transformation since the invention of the internet. Once defined by broadcast giants and daily newspapers, the landscape is now shaped by AI, independent creators, micro-communities, and algorithm-driven platforms. The result? A fragmented, high-velocity information ecosystem where trust is both the scarcest and most valuable currency.

At a time when exponential technologies and AI are reshaping industries at unprecedented speed, one question stands at the forefront of organizational success: How do we build leaders for a world that is changing faster than humans naturally adapt?

We’re living in an era where AI innovations are hitting faster than ever. Every week brings a new model, tool, or platform promising to revolutionize how we work, communicate, and create. From generative AI that writes, designs, and codes, to advanced predictive analytics transforming decision-making, the pace of change is dizzying.

The first wave of Generative AI was marked by rapid breakthroughs and bold experimentation. Tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, and Gemini captured global attention and redefined what machines could create — from text and code to images and design concepts.

Every few years, the tech world collectively loses its mind. Investors pour in billions, founders spin grand narratives, and the media declares “the future is here.” And then…reality shows up.

In this engaging conversation, Lars Tvede, renowned author and investor, sits down with Hong Hao, economist and hedge fund manager, to discuss his latest book Hyperintelligence. Together, they explore how intelligence has evolved from the Big Bang to the rise of AI, what the coming wave of agentic systems and smart robots means for productivity and labor, and how these shifts may reshape global business cycles, markets, and investment opportunities.
