Many people think of AI as the train.
In reality, AI is the railway.
The real shift is the infrastructure being built today: compute, energy, talent, and digital stack.
Countries that invest in this infrastructure will shape the future of AI.
My conversation with @BCG at MWC.

AI creates business value when strategy, workflows, and execution work together. Leaders need to connect these layers, redesign how work gets done, and build the skills that turn AI capabilities into measurable outcomes.

If you use AI, do not stop using your brain. An AI suggestion is one possible option, not a decision already made for you
An answer may sound convincing and still leave something out. Give it the same attention you would give any advice affecting your work
Microblog @antgrasso
Before accepting a recommendation, check what it is based on.
Does the system have enough information about your situation?
Would you accept the same advice from a colleague without asking a question?
Explore another option, even when the first suggestion seems reasonable. You can ask AI to propose alternatives, then compare them with what you know.
If the original recommendation still makes sense, follow it.
There is no need to disagree with AI just to prove you are in control.
But keep the possibility of changing your mind.
When new information arrives, reconsider the decision. What would make you choose differently today?
AI can suggest a direction.
You should remain free to take another one.

Two patients have the same diagnosis. Would the same treatment be right for both? Clinical decision support helps clinicians examine the differences.
Patient information supplies the context. Medical knowledge helps interpret it before a decision is made.

Consider a clinician preparing to prescribe a medication. The patient record contains kidney function results that may affect the appropriate dose.
A clinical decision support system can combine that information with medical references and flag a possible dosing concern for review.
Now the clinician has something to examine.
Are the patient data current? Does the recommendation make sense in this particular care situation?
The software can bring relevant evidence to the attention of the clinician while the decision is being considered. The clinician interprets that evidence and decides how to proceed.
The purpose is to make medical knowledge available in the context of the patient, without transferring clinical judgment to the software.

Who decides whether a Bitcoin payment is valid? Not a bank.
Independent nodes check it against shared rules, while miners add blocks.
That allows BTC to move without a central operator, but protecting your private keys remains your responsibility.

AI consumes energy in 2 phases: training and inference. The first has a finite cost per training run; the second keeps accumulating with use.
One training run has a defined end. Inference follows demand, whether the model handles a few requests or millions.
Microblog @antgrasso
Training requires computation to develop the model. Once a training run is complete, the energy consumed during that run is a fixed total.
The trained model can then be used repeatedly without being trained again for every request.
But every request still requires computation.
The more frequently the model is used, the more inference energy accumulates. The amount also depends on how much processing each request requires.
A simple question and a complex analysis do not necessarily consume the same amount of energy.
For organizations deploying AI, estimating energy consumption means considering both the training process and the workload generated throughout the life of the service.

AI adoption does not automatically build trust. With 30% of Americans worried about its pace of development, leaders need to make AI's value tangible: show measurable results, explain its limits, and make human accountability clear.

The new ADIPEC Global Energy Report 2026 caught my attention: 22% of oil and gas insiders name AI-driven efficiency as a top commercial opportunity today, versus 27% in ten years.
A signal of changing business priorities.

Another finding adds context: 81% of energy insiders expect AI-driven electricity demand to exceed current forecasts.
This creates a closer relationship between the energy and technology industries.
Energy companies need to understand how computing demand will evolve, and technology companies must understand the capacity and operating requirements of energy systems.
I find this mutual dependency particularly interesting because investment decisions in one industry will increasingly affect the other.
ADIPEC 2026, taking place from 2-5 November in Abu Dhabi, offers an opportunity to examine how these developments will shape the energy business.
Energy. Intelligence. Impact.

A KPMG survey finds that 89% report measurable value from AI, but only 12% consistently assess that value against its cost.
The figures raise a question: what can organizations conclude about AI economics if costs and benefits are not compared consistently?
Microblog @antgrasso
In its Global AI Pulse Q3 2026, KPMG reports that 61% review AI costs during approval and 59% monitor them once systems are running.
Consider an AI application that processes supplier invoices.
The finance team may know how much it costs each month. But how much time does it save once the manual corrections are taken into account?
Without that comparison, deciding whether to expand the application is harder.
Among organizations reporting established ROI, KPMG finds that 48% consistently compare AI value with cost.
Financial control tells an organization what it spends. Connecting cost to results helps it decide whether further investment makes sense.
