BIG BANG Tech Report is the conversation lab for the era after the AI Big Bang. Publisher, host and co-founder of the BIG BANG AI Festival, Jens de Buhr, sits down with tech thought leader, author, lecturer and investor Alvin Wang Graylin to explore the forces reshaping our economy and society: artificial intelligence, chips and cloud, data power, regulation and new business models. In the Tech Report, they unpack the latest numbers, deals and developments – from NVIDIA’s quarterly results to the newest AI models – and tie it all back to one key question: What does this actually mean for businesses, investors, policymakers and every one of us?

    Burning Man meets AI: Why the Future needs more Humanity

    What happens when one of the world’s leading AI strategists spends a week in the Nevada desert with no money, no hierarchy – and a lot of conversations about artificial intelligence? In this episode of the BIG BANG Tech Report, Jens de Buhr and Alvin Wang Graylin reflect on Alvin’s research trip to Burning Man – and what eighty thousand people in the desert can teach us about the future of work, creativity, community and the role of AI in human life. They discuss why artists at Burning Man are not fighting AI but asking how to use it to reach bigger audiences; why the real Luddites were not anti-technology but fighting for economic survival; and why the gifting economy of Burning Man – where people work hard for each other without money changing hands – might be a prototype for what comes after scarcity. The conversation turns serious as Alvin and Jens address OpenAI’s Astro launch and the growing debate around AGI: Jensen Huang calling it AGI, OpenAI’s president welcoming the “age of AGI” – and OpenAI’s chief scientist publishing a paper calling AI “alien intelligence” he can no longer control. Only one percent of AI investment goes into safety. And unlike pharmaceuticals or aviation, there are no global safety regulations. The race is moving faster than civilization can adapt. The episode closes with a call to action: come together, face to face, and figure out what we want to do about it. One week before the BIG BANG KI FESTIVAL in Berlin.

    STOP SEARCHING. START DELEGATING.

    Is AI moving us from the attention economy to the trust economy? And if so, what does that mean for Google, for Anthropic’s IPO, for children growing up with AI as their first confidant – and for the bubble debate that’s getting louder by the day? In this episode of the BIG BANG Tech Report, Jens de Buhr and Alvin Wang Graylin run through a packed agenda: the shift from “help me” to “do it for me”; whether Google must kill search before someone else does; the Buffett Indicator at 240 % of US GDP; what Anthropic’s rumoured IPO would actually reveal about the economics of frontier AI labs; why China has already won physical AI while digital AI may end up being a global public good; and how a laser weapon built by five people shows what startups can now do that was impossible before. The episode closes with Alvin’s most unexpected research project: heading to Burning Man to test whether its gifting economy could serve as a proto-economic model for a post-AGI world – and whether eighty thousand people in the Nevada desert can teach us something about what comes after productivity.

    AI Builds the Next Airbus: What’s Left for Humans?

    In this episode of the BIG BANG Tech Report, Jens de Buhr and Alvin Wang Graylin discuss how close we may be to AGI, what happens when AI moves from chatbot to actor, and why the next stage of automation could reshape companies, jobs and human purpose. From aircraft design and AI agents to Hinton, Harari, Musk, robotics, ownership and Europe’s need for speed — this is a conversation about what changes when AI becomes capable of orchestrating entire workflows, not just individual tasks.

    Three AI visionaries shaping the future of chips, cinema, open source and work

    Is singularity already here – or is Sam Altman just making headlines? In this episode of the BIG BANG Tech Report, Jens de Buhr and Alvin Wang Graylin examine five signals reshaping AI markets and society. They discuss the OpenAI model escape incident and what it reveals about operational maturity at frontier labs; China’s accelerating semiconductor progress and its impact on memory stocks; Nvidia’s open-source alliance and why almost every major AI company – except Anthropic – has signed on; AI-generated cinema and what Elon Musk’s full-length Odyssey ambition says about the democratization of visual storytelling; and Alvin’s takeaways from the World AI Conference in China, where East and West are converging on a shared message: AI should be a public good, not a weapon. The episode closes with a reflection on a broader shift already underway: people are no longer fighting AI – they are partnering with it. And that changes everything. – Chapter markers – About the hosts: Jens de Buhr – Founder & CEO, JDB Holding; publisher of DUP UNTERNEHMER; co-founder BIG BANG AI Festival.

    AI at a Turning Point: Why the Next Shift Will Create New Opportunities

    Could the AI boom be heading toward a major correction — not because the technology is failing, but because its economics may not add up? In this episode of the BIG BANG Tech Report, Jens de Buhr and Alvin Wang Graylin discuss why humanoid robots are still stronger as demos than as businesses, how smaller models could move AI from the cloud onto personal devices, and why open models may challenge AI labs, chipmakers and hyperscale data centers. At the center is the question of whether falling AI costs, rising infrastructure spending and unclear enterprise returns could trigger a market reset. Alvin argues that such a correction could be painful — but also redirect AI toward broader access, global cooperation and more human-centered priorities. Further reading: Alvin Wang Graylin expands on this argument in his essay “The Great Reckoning Before the Reconnecting”, exploring why a potential AI crash could lead to five broader economic and societal “reconnectings.” About the hosts: Jens de Buhr – Founder & CEO, JDB Holding; publisher of DUP UNTERNEHMER; co-founder BIG BANG AI Festival.

    The Ego Era Is Over. AI Needs a Human Compass

    In this episode of the BIG BANG Tech Report, Jens de Buhr and Alvin Wang Graylin ask who controls the next wave of AI. They discuss Apple’s edge AI advantage, the rise of open models from China and Japan, the growing link between AI access and geopolitics, and why Europe’s sovereignty ambitions depend on scale, cost and real-world performance. The episode also covers AI video, chips, Nvidia’s position, Huawei’s role — and the bigger question behind automation: what happens to work, meaning and human value when AI becomes infrastructure?

    SpaceX, AI and Mega-IPOs: What’s Really Happening Behind the Scenes

    Are AI labs building sustainable businesses or exposing a deeper economic tension? In this episode of the BIG BANG Tech Report, Jens de Buhr and Alvin Wang Graylin discuss the economics behind AGI claims, the pressure around AI business models, and the question of who benefits if AI becomes core infrastructure. They examine cheaper AI use, global competition from open-source models, robotics in China, and why governance should focus on human value rather than machine ownership.
