Welcome to the Future

In Part 2 of our interview with Jonas Bjerg, we shift from the individual to the institutional—exploring how generative AI is transforming entire industries, reshaping workforce skills, and raising complex ethical and regulatory challenges. From real-world applications in healthcare and marketing to the importance of human oversight and thoughtful policy, Jonas offers a grounded perspective on what it takes to adopt AI responsibly and where it’s all heading.

Generative AI is fast weaving itself into the fabric of our society. While many remain skeptical about its rapid adoption and the potential consequences it poses on an economic and social scale, Jonas Bjerg, author of “The Early-Career Professional’s Guide to Generative AI”, separates fact from fiction—offering a grounded view on how we can live alongside AI and how our interaction with it might evolve.

The rise of live biotherapeutic products is reshaping healthcare by using live microorganisms to restore and maintain a balanced microbiota or to serve in targeted drug delivery. Companies like NeribiOm, EverImmune, Azitra, Siolta Therapeutics, and P. Happi are leading the way in developing treatments for a wide range of conditions. Their efforts highlight the significant potential of microbiome-based therapies to provide targeted and effective treatments.

We like to think of innovation as a straight line: a flash of genius, a carefully executed plan, and a triumphant unveiling of the final product. In reality, innovation is often a messy, unpredictable, and wonderfully human process. Some of the world’s greatest ideas didn’t emerge from whiteboards and strategy meetings. They happened by accident.

What if the future of healthcare wasn’t in hospitals—but in personal science advisors? As the field of longevity evolves rapidly, a new role is emerging: the longevity concierge. In this exclusive interview, Victor Björk, a biomedical scientist and longevity concierge, shares how he helps clients navigate cutting-edge treatments, avoid pseudoscience, and make evidence-based choices in a landscape filled with both opportunity and noise.
