Leave a Comment / #Daily Mind Candy, General, Speaking / By Ron Immink

For years, governments have postponed maintenance, avoided difficult reforms, protected broken systems, and congratulated themselves for managing decline. Now the bill has arrived. Electricity grids are at capacity in too many places and cannot absorb new generation or accommodate new demand. Water systems are ageing. Roads, drainage, sewage networks, hospitals, and public buildings need serious

Why AI is only the warm up act

Leave a Comment / #Daily Mind Candy, Digital transformation, General, Speaking / By Ron Immink

For three years, I told business leaders to pay attention to AI. That advice was correct. It was also incomplete. In February 2026, I reviewed a book called Superconvergence. Its thesis reframed everything I thought I understood about where technology was heading. AI is not the main event. It is the warm-up act. The main

The faster technology moves, the more human leadership must become

Leave a Comment / #Daily Mind Candy, Digital transformation, General, Speaking / By Ron Immink

We keep asking whether AI will replace human beings. That is the wrong question. The more immediate danger is that human beings stop doing the intellectual work required to remain worth augmenting. AI is not developing in isolation. It is accelerating alongside quantum computing, programmable biology, robotics, materials science, and energy technology. English is becoming

Leave a Comment / #Daily Mind Candy, Digital transformation, General, Speaking / By Ron Immink

An overview of the digital transformation #mindcandy in July 2026: AI welfare is a governance question now. Models act agentic and appear conscious. Policies on testing, control, and treatment aren’t optional anymore. Cognitive debt accumulates. Output rises. Judgement, creativity, and the ability to explain a conclusion quietly erode.

AI is not just changing work. It is weakening organisational agency

Leave a Comment / #Daily Mind Candy, Digital transformation, General, Speaking / By Ron Immink

AI agents. Semantic infrastructure. Tactile robots. Wearables. Brain-computer interfaces. Programmable biology. 3D printing. Superintelligence. But they pointed to the same underlying issue: Organisations are gaining technological capability while losing the ability to understand, challenge, and control what they are becoming. That is the real strategic risk. AI is becoming infrastructure AI is moving beyond productivity
