AI Agents
Rising
Moving from demonstration to delegated work. The capability question is largely settled; the accountability question is not. Watch for who signs off on what an agent is permitted to do without a human in the loop.

What Luis is watching
A short list of the things that look most likely to matter, with a status and a reason. These are editorial judgements, not measurements — they reflect Luis’ reading of the field and they change.
How to read this
Nothing on this page is an algorithmic rating. Each status is Luis’ own assessment, made at a point in time, and stated so that it can be argued with. If you think one is wrong, say so anonymously.
Enterprise AI
Rising
The centre of gravity is shifting from pilots to platform decisions — deployment, monitoring and cost control as shared infrastructure rather than per-team improvisation.
AI Governance
Rising sharply
The EU AI Act turns governance from good practice into obligation. Organisations that treat it as a documentation exercise will discover the difference late.
Critical
AI Literacy
Rising
Still widely treated as awareness training. The organisations that make it role-specific will get disproportionately more out of every tool they buy.
Emerging
Future of Work
Steady
Much discussed, unevenly evidenced. The near-term effect is on task composition inside roles rather than on the existence of the roles themselves.
Watch
Autonomous agents replacing whole functions
Cooling
The claim outruns what most organisations can currently govern, integrate or absorb. Useful as a direction, misleading as a plan.
Overhyped
Data platforms
Stable
A well-understood problem with well-understood answers. The remaining difficulty is organisational ownership, not technology selection.
Maturing
Status key
What each status means
Emerging
Real, early, and not yet widely acted on.
Adoption is compounding. Waiting has a cost.
Watch
Consequential but unresolved. No action required yet.
Critical
Requires a decision from leadership now.
Maturing
Well understood. Execution, not exploration.
Overhyped
The claim is ahead of what organisations can absorb.
