While philosophers debate theoretical frameworks for AI ethics, governments worldwide are drawing real-world boundaries. Their regulations don’t just govern technology-they reveal deep cultural values and priorities. The result? A complex, high-stakes global landscape that will shape our digital future. From Fiction to Policy: South Korea’s Pioneering Step In 2007, South Korea drafted the world’s first Robot Ethics Charter—not a sci-fi homage, but a bold signal that AI ethic

As we close out 2025 and look ahead, it’s clear this was a year where AI and technology stopped being “the future” and started becoming the present. What once felt experimental became operational, embedded, and unavoidable - reshaping how leaders think, decide, and build. Below is our curated look at the breakthroughs that actually mattered this year—not just because they were impressive, but because they changed expectations for what’s possible in 2026 and beyond. The 10 tec

An algorithm just denied someone's loan application. Another filtered out a qualified candidate's resume. A hospital's AI system is triaging patients in real time. These aren't hypothetical scenarios—they're happening now, at scale, with life-altering consequences. AI systems don't just automate decisions. They encode values. Every dataset, every optimization function, every edge case represents a moral choice about what matters and who counts. The critical question isn't whe

The New Cultural Currency In 2014, Nairobi became a testing ground for China’s digital dominance when Huawei rolled out an AI-powered surveillance system across the city - a network of over 1,800 cameras and 195 monitoring centers, installed without public consultation and under virtually nonexistent data protection laws. These events signified the beginning of a silent yet profound shift in the dynamics of international relations. While the world's attention remained fixed o

Are you unknowingly giving hackers the keys to your digital life? The rapid growth of smartphones, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and interconnected gadgets means hackers now have countless new ways to access your information. Today’s cybercriminals blend seamlessly into everyday digital environments, exploiting vulnerabilities you might not even realize exist. However, not all hackers seek to harm. Ethical hackers, known as white hats, actively protect the digital

In our rapidly evolving digital landscape, technology promises convenience and efficiency, but it also brings a host of risks that are harder to ignore. While we all enjoy the benefits of digital tools in our daily lives, how often do we consider the potential dangers behind every click and connection? Cybersecurity isn’t just for IT specialists—it’s something we all need to be aware of. As technology evolves, so do the vulnerabilities, making it more critical than ever to st

Something remarkable is happening in the world of technology. At a recent XR Summit in the Bay Area co-hosted by Vinnova (the Swedish Innovation Fund) and Ericsson, industry leaders from tech giants like Nvidia and Qualcomm gathered to share their vision of the future. Their message was clear: the convergence of Extended Reality (XR) and artificial intelligence isn't just changing how we interact with digital content – it's redefining what's possible. As these companies push

In an era where artificial intelligence is reshaping industries, one Swedish organization decided to take a bold step into the future. Swedac, the Swedish Board for Accreditation and Conformity Assessment, recognized that staying ahead in the digital age wasn't just about adopting new tools – it was about transforming their entire approach to technology. A Journey of Discovery Swedac's leadership recognized that to truly harness the power of AI, they needed to do more than ju

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has morphed from a technological novelty to a transformative force. Here is the latest you need to know.

In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into organizations is no longer a mere possibility – it's an inevitability. As a recent HEPI/Kortext study found, over half of current university students have already used generative AI tools like ChatGPT to help with assessments. As leaders, we must recognize that for the next generation entering the workforce, seamless use of AI will be the norm. To prepare, we must embrace

Our Future Foresight Program, which successfully launched its first cohort in March, has just been featured in Dagens Industri (Sweden’s main business magazine). In the article, our CEO and founder Claudia Olsson discusses how the program is designed to equip leaders with the necessary skills to anticipate and leverage emerging trends and opportunities and prepare their organizations for the future. As markets shift, technologies evolve, and consumer behaviors change, forward

In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, fostering a culture of creativity and collaboration have become essential for organizations looking to stay ahead of the curve. This case study will explore some of the initiatives at Epiroc, driven by the work of its Global Innovation Enabler Sisirnath Sangireddy and his applied learnings from the Stellar Executive Program. Key learnings from Stellar Executive Program Sisirnath joined Epiroc in 2018 as a Creative Lead for Inter

In an increasingly digital world, having a robust professional network is more valuable than ever. The concept of "networking karma" underscores the idea that what we contribute to our network ultimately benefits us. Like other aspects of life, positive actions lead to positive outcomes. According to Metcalfe's Law, the value of a network increases exponentially with each additional connection. This is particularly significant in our highly interconnected world, where having

In our fast-paced digital world, safeguarding our information should be one of our paramount concerns. With sophisticated hackers utilizing both advanced AI empowered tools as well as time-tested techniques, cyber threats have become a staple in our daily news. However, the silver lining is that you don't need to be a tech aficionado to contribute to cybersecurity measures. In this article, we delve into the realm of cybersecurity, underscoring the imperative for collective i

There are few instances where AI and the human psyche converge in shared experiences. One such fascinating example is hallucinations — a phenomenon experienced by both humans and, as we will come to understand, generative artificial intelligence (AI). AI can hallucinate, albeit in a way that differs from human hallucinations. Hallucinations in Artificial Intelligence: When AI Starts 'Seeing' Things Hallucinations, real experiences without any basis in reality, can affect all

As the world of artificial intelligence (AI) continues to evolve at a lightning pace, one innovation that stands at the forefront is the development of Large Language Models (LLMs). With capabilities in understanding, generating, and translating human language, LLMs have shown potential in reshaping numerous industries. This article aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of LLMs, how they function, their application across multiple corporations, and the use cases they

How to navigate the unexpected and expected. In today’s world, where change is the only constant, we now more than ever need to be able to look over the horizon toward the future. This must be more than just a wish: in a time when technology is developing at an accelerating pace and consumer expectations are constantly changing, it is a matter of survival. Future Forecasting is not just a trendy buzzword, but a growing vital part of our everyday toolbox. Your Compass into the

Generative AI tools can greatly help with your daily work, but you still need honest feedback from humans to perform your best.
