Since late 2024, I have been yammering on to whomever will listen, at parties, dog parks, grocery store lines, about one of the most important areas of our future, Agentic AI. We are rapidly entering a new era where the assistant doesn’t just suggest the flight; it books it, pays for it, and could also manage the treasury of the…

At the recent SCSP AI+Education conference in Washington, DC, the air was thick with the usual policy jargon until Dr. Tasha Arnold, Head of Alpha Schools, took the stage. For a technologist, her message was a refreshing departure from the “AI will replace us” trope. Instead, she presented a vision where AI acts as the ultimate pedagogical “load balancer,” freeing…

The dawn of the AI era isn’t just a technological shift; it is a profound economic and social disruption that requires a fundamental “rewiring” of the American workforce. At the recent SCSP AI+Education conference in Washington, D.C., a compelling panel titled “States, AI, and Workforce Competitiveness” brought together former Governors Eric Holcomb (Indiana) and Gina Raimondo (Rhode Island, also former…

Blockchains are incredible for security and transparency, but by design, they are isolated. They cannot inherently communicate with the outside world or with each other. Without a reliable bridge, smart contracts are essentially flying blind. Oracles – one of my favorite topics going back to 2017 – because of my background in data repositories in FinTech/LegalTech and real-estate.

Oracles solve…

If hardware and software are the engines of the artificial intelligence revolution, government policy is the track they run on. Without the right permitting, infrastructure investments, and regulatory frameworks, even the most advanced technological breakthroughs will stall.

At The Washington Post’s Building America: Powering the AI Age summit, Dan Merica, Co-Anchor of the Early Brief, sat down with Senator Ted…

The world of finance is undergoing a metamorphosis so bizarre that not even Franz Kafka could have dreamt it up. We are watching the convergence of retail and institutional trading become entirely automated, driven by Agentic AI, and increasingly tokenized. Having just returned from speaking at Davos on this very intersection of blockchain and AI, I can tell you…
Continue Reading Agentic AI: The Tokenized Future – Inside Nansen with Alex Svanevik

When we discuss the infrastructural demands of the artificial intelligence boom, the conversation almost immediately defaults to the electrical grid. We talk in gigawatts and megawatt-hours. But behind every headline about AI’s power hunger lies an equally critical, yet vastly under-discussed, resource challenge: water.

At The Washington Post’s Building America: Powering the AI Age summit, moderator Kathleen Koch sat down…

In a world where algorithms can predict market shifts in milliseconds and supply chains are becoming autonomous, the role of human leadership is paradoxically becoming more critical, not less. Today, we aren’t just discussing ‘digital transformation’ as a buzzword; we are looking at the anatomy of how legacy giants pivot into the future. We will explore what it actually looks…

If we’ve learned anything recently, it’s that disruption is here to stay. While we cannot always predict the next pivotal shift—whether it’s a market crash or the sudden rise of agentic AI—we can learn to make decisions that allow us to adapt and outperform the competition.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Rebecca Homkes, Professor of Strategy…
