Artificial Intelligence Alexander Pinker -
At CHI 2026 in Barcelona, Apple is not showcasing major product launches, but something arguably more significant: a set of research contributions that offer a rare glimpse into how the company is thinking about the future of interfaces, accessibility and data-driven design.

How Generative AI Is Redefining Leadership — and Reshaping Organisations

Artificial Intelligence Alexander Pinker -
Generative AI is not just transforming processes, products or business models. It is going deeper — into the core of organisations: leadership, accountability and structure. What once felt relatively stable is now being redefined. New roles are emerging, organisational charts are becoming more fluid, and leadership itself is undergoing a fundamental shift.

Pico’s Project Swan XR: The Boldest Challenge Yet to Apple and Meta

Augmented Reality Alexander Pinker -
At first glance, the XR market in early 2026 appears settled. Apple Vision Pro defines premium spatial computing, while Meta Quest 3 dominates the mass market with a gaming-first approach. Yet into this seemingly stable landscape steps Pico with Project Swan XR — and challenges the very assumptions current headsets are built on.

The Cost Trap of Agents: Why AI Workflows Suddenly Get Expensive

Artificial Intelligence Alexander Pinker -
Agents are widely seen as the next evolution of AI. Systems such as Claude (including Cowork) or automation platforms like n8n promise to plan and execute entire tasks autonomously.

Companies that treat generative AI as just another software upgrade will struggle to unlock its potential — and may even introduce new layers of complexity.

A debut novel becomes a bestseller, a publisher picks it up, the US release is prepared – then an AI detector reveals that 78 per cent of the text was probably machine-generated. Hachette pulls the book. What remains is more than a scandal: it's the blueprint for the crisis of trust facing the entire creative economy.

How Pokémon Go Players Are Training Delivery Robots

Artificial Intelligence Alexander Pinker -
What began as a global augmented-reality game is quietly becoming infrastructure for autonomous machines. Over the past decade, millions of players of Pokémon Go have taken photos of streets, buildings and public landmarks while hunting for virtual creatures. Today, that same visual data is helping delivery robots navigate cities with remarkable precision.
