    AI Developments 2026 and Future Trajectories of Key Players S15 E1

    This free pdf briefing report and associated Podcast reviews the evolution of AI and future trajectories looking at the major players As of February 2026, the artificial intelligence landscape has transitioned from a phase of rapid experimentation into a transformative era of agentic autonomy and industrial integration. The market, once dominated by a single player, is now a multi-polar environment characterized by a fierce competition between proprietary ecosystems (led by OpenAI and Google) and high-performance open-weight models (led by Meta and DeepSeek).Critical Takeaways:• The Rise of Agentic AI: The primary focus has shifted from conversational chatbots to "Agentic AI"—systems capable of autonomous, multi-step task execution with minimal human oversight.• Disruption of Scaling Laws: The assumption that frontier AI requires billions in compute was shattered in early 2025 by DeepSeek, which achieved state-of-the-art performance for approximately £4.7 million in training costs.• Market Consolidation: OpenAI (68% traffic) and Google (18.2% traffic) control the vast majority of the consumer market, though specialized players like Anthropic (Enterprise) and Perplexity (Search) are carving out high-value niches.• Infrastructural Standardisation: The open-sourcing of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) by Anthropic has created a universal standard for connecting AI to external data and tools.• Massive Capital Expenditure: Global leaders are projected to spend £474 billion on AI infrastructure in 2026 alone, a 50% increase over the previous year.

    Strategic Review of AI use in organisations and growth trajectories S14 E9

    This podcast and free PDF briefing report considers the growth of AI in organisations covering adoption rates and ROI .As of 2026, artificial intelligence has transitioned from an experimental novelty to a foundational component of global business infrastructure. While 88% of organizations have integrated AI into at least one business function, the primary challenge remains an "execution gap": only 6% of enterprises have achieved meaningful, company-wide impact. The market is currently undergoing a massive expansion, projected to reach £407 billion by 2027 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 36.2%.The defining technical shift of 2026 is the rise of Agentic AI—autonomous systems capable of planning and executing multi-step workflows. This marks an evolution from AI as a conversational tool to AI as a digital colleague. However, widespread adoption is tempered by high error rates in mission-critical processes and emerging security vulnerabilities. Economically, the focus has shifted toward "demonstrable ROI," with high-performing sectors like healthcare and finance reporting significant gains in productivity and cost reduction. Success in this era is increasingly defined by the "10-20-70 rule," which posits that 70% of AI transformation effort must be dedicated to people and processes rather than technology alone.
