AI has evolved from a technology experiment into critical infrastructure. The strategic center of gravity has shifted from capability to control over compute, energy, trusted data regimes, governance frameworks, and diplomatic leverage to shape international standards. In this Viewpoint, we therefore explore how the global AI race is increasingly centered on securing and governing the full technology stack - from hardware and data to models, energy, and regulatory frameworks. We also examine the rise of sovereign AI strategies, and the growing importance of energy infrastructure. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gABz9rxt #AI #Technology #Infrastructure

Airports have the golden opportunity to lead the decarbonization of ground operations through electrification solutions like eGSE, APU-OFF, and ENGINE-OFF taxiing, which reduce emissions, fuel use, noise, and costs while creating environmental and economic value. Fully realizing these benefits, however, requires coordinated planning, clear role allocation, and business models that address financial, operational, and regulatory challenges across all stakeholders. Watch the sequence below for more insights into the technology powering this transition, then complete the study inside the full Viewpoint: https://lnkd.in/gSCYkae9

Many organizations recognize the need for transformation, yet too often action is delayed. The cost? Missed opportunities and eroding competitiveness. Ben van der Schaaf, Partner at Arthur D. Little, highlights why speed is no longer optional - it’s essential for survival in today’s rapidly evolving landscape.

Open digital architecture (ODA) provides communication service providers with a structured, API-driven foundation that improves speed, lowers costs, and enables AI readiness, ecosystem scale, and better risk management. By adopting ODA as an incremental, outcome-driven transformation approach rather than a one-off IT overhaul, CSPs can build scalable digital capabilities while modernizing legacy systems safely.

Is AI reporting on your business agenda? AI depends on huge amounts of electricity and water, which comes at an unprecedented environmental cost. Soon, this cost may become visible – through strain on water supplies and electricity grids linked to data center expansion. When the bill comes due, people will want to know what businesses are doing about their AI usage. AI reporting is moving up the agenda. To understand what this means for business, read our latest PRISM article: https://lnkd.in/eRfMHqA4

In under a decade, China has transformed itself into the world’s automotive innovation powerhouse, leading in electrification, software integration and rapid product development while producing 26.8 million vehicles in 2024 - 35.4% of global output, widening the competitive gap with Europe and North America. A new global benchmark has been set, forcing Western manufacturers to rethink strategy, organization and investment or risk long-term decline.

Multi-agent AI is emerging as the next wave of enterprise AI, with the market expected to grow to $45 billion by 2030, yet large-scale adoption remains limited. Many generative AI initiatives have struggled to deliver returns due to weak data foundations, poor process redesign, and limited organizational adoption rather than shortcomings in the models themselves. To unlock real value, organizations should start by redesigning systems around multi-agent workflows. This Viewpoint contains the crucial next steps: https://lnkd.in/e7pwDZr9

Amid mounting climate pressure and tighter regulation, airports have a major opportunity to accelerate aviation’s green transition by electrifying ground operations, one of the quickest and most cost-effective ways to cut emissions. Although electric ground support equipment can deliver immediate fuel, cost and CO₂ savings, eGSE still accounts for less than a fifth of the global fleet and must expand rapidly to meet decarbonization targets. By moving beyond a passive landlord role to become proactive enablers or strategic orchestrators airports can unlock new revenue streams while positioning themselves as leaders in the race to net zero. ADL’s latest Viewpoint explores the journey to get there: https://lnkd.in/gSCYkae9

Can Africa achieve a sustainable and resilient energy future while nearly 40% of the population still lacks access to electricity? Africa is home to some of the world’s greatest renewable energy potential - from solar and wind to hydropower and geothermal energy - yet investment, infrastructure, and financing challenges continue to slow progress. The continent’s energy transition has a dual mission: expanding affordable, reliable power while building competitive renewable energy assets that support economic growth and global integration. In this Viewpoint, we therefore explore the viability of a green transition in Africa, the structural barriers limiting renewable energy development, and why tailored approaches will be critical to meeting the continent’s diverse energy needs.
