Cognitive exoskeletons
AI is not just artificial intelligence. It is amplification intelligence. Expressed in robots, but also in exoskeletons. Apart form physical augmentation, the list is endless:
- Cognitive augmentation expands reasoning and problem-solving.
- Sensory augmentation enhances perception.
- Memory augmentation extends recall.
- Creative augmentation expands imagination.
- Decision augmentation improves judgment.
- Communication augmentation breaks language barriers.
- Emotional augmentation supports self-regulation.
- Skill augmentation accelerates learning.
- Neural augmentation connects brains to machines.
- Collective intelligence augmentation combines human and machine capabilities.
The interesting part is what happens next. Once you discover you can do more, you start imagining more. Problems that seemed impossible become opportunities. Ambitions expand. Curiosity accelerates. That is the real promise of AI. Not replacing human intelligence, but augmenting it. The biggest opportunity is not doing the same things faster. It is doing things we could never do before.
Stop thinking about AI as an efficiency tool. Start treating it as an augmentation strategy. Challenge your leadership team to identify three things that were previously beyond your organisation’s capabilities and explore how AI could make them possible.

Why Customer Context Is Your Most Underused Growth Strategy
Forget segmentation, think nano audience. Think nano moments. Nano marketing if you will. Context is king. It is in-the-moment marketing. Segmentation by context. Understanding how to help consumers achieve their goals in the moment.

Scientists Just Revived Pig Kidneys Frozen for a Year. It Could Rewrite the Future of Organ Transplants
Researchers managed to freeze test pig kidneys down to -238 degrees Fahrenheit (-150 degrees Celsius) with minimal damage to their vital functions.
Locusts could help detect chemical weapons
Scientists have long explored the idea of using insects as our agents in the field in places where humans won’t fit or survive. Imagine a cockroach in an earthquake zone, able to skitter into the rubble to map out exactly where human chemical signatures can be found; or a grasshopper leaping through a minefield to bring back a map of the bombs based on the vapors it encountered.

The Next Industrial Revolution May Come From Biology
For the first time in human history, biology has the opportunity to be engineering, not science. When something becomes engineering, not science, it becomes less sporadic and exponentially improving. Artificial intelligence, computational biology, and enzyme engineering are beginning to make that vision more concrete.
