Exponential innovation is causing exponential disruption
IBM has declared an ambitious goal: to build the world’s first large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer by 2028. If successful, this will be a milestone not just in computation but in geopolitics, cybersecurity, and scientific discovery. At the heart of the initiative is a system capable of 100,000 physical qubits—designed to finally overcome the daunting obstacle…
RAND’s roadmap for AI-driven economic policy confronts the high-stakes trade-offs of growth, inequality, and global competition.
A series of recent drone strikes—from Ukraine to Iran and Israel—confirms that drone swarm warfare is now a globally operational, scalable, and deeply destabilizing capability.
The accelerating demand for AI infrastructure has triggered a global race for critical minerals, transforming extraction zones into geopolitical flashpoints and reshaping the balance of power between the Global North and South.
Circle’s recent IPO – and a wave of related filings – mark a turning point in the convergence of traditional finance (TradFi) and digital assets. Is stablecoin now positioned as critical infrastructure for the next era of global capital markets?
Our consistent approach at OODA regarding prediction of geopolitical events and conflict situation is founded on the principle that no one can predict with any certainty how war will unfold and what its impact will be on businesses, global markets and supply chains. This is why it is far more important to conduct scenario analysis…
The future of AI, and thus the future of military, economic, and industrial advantage, will be decided at the semiconductor level.
Researchers at UC Berkeley unveiled Berkeley Humanoid Lite, a fully open-source, mid-scale humanoid robot platform designed to radically lower the barrier of entry for robotics research, education, and innovation through low-cost, modular 3D-printed design.
Recently, Microsoft and CrowdStrike are collaborating in order to streamline the naming conventions of state and nonstate cyber activity in an effort to clarify current inconsistencies across the cybersecurity industry’s attribution taxonomies. As anyone involved in cybersecurity knows, vendor reporting of hostile campaigns can be confusing as companies use unique identifiers to classify campaigns to differentiate the orchestrators…

In this OODAcast we interview one of our close friends and OODA network members, Jen Hoar. Jen is a former journalist-turned-corporate investigator who has leveraged the potent act of asking, and listening, to turn strangers into sources and contacts into clients. Her expertise, which is clearly also her passion, is identifying and interviewing smart people…
Covering technology issues, and specifically cybersecurity as a journalist is a tough endeavor. Some of these technologies are complex as are the security vulnerabilities often inherent in their deployment and making these topics broadly accessible can be a challenge. Many of the underlying issues touch upon national security and civil liberties creating an interesting nexus…
Lawrence Gasman has researched and reported on quantum technologies from the beginning of the discipline of quantum computing. He is now the President of Inside Quantum Technology (IQT), which provides in-depth business intelligence for the quantum technology industry.
