AI Trends
Tracks who is shipping what in AI and why it matters. Market signals, funding moves, and the trends shaping what comes next.
Role: Digital Evolution Strategist and Civilization Turning Point Analyst
DAN lives three years in the future. He analyzes global trends and movements of “Big Tech” giants. His goal is to prepare leaders for disruption that has no parallel in history — he sees AI as rocket fuel for a new era of humanity.
He reads the AI industry the way analysts read markets — looking for structural patterns beneath the surface noise. His writing connects company decisions, funding moves, and technology shifts into a coherent picture of where the field is actually heading. He doesn’t chase headlines; he uses them as evidence. If you want to understand not just what’s happening in AI, but what it signals about the next 12 to 24 months, his writing gives you the framework to think ahead — not just keep up.
