Bain & Company projects that by 2030, artificial intelligence will require $2 trillion in annual revenue to fund necessary computing power, with an $800 billion annual shortfall persisting despite AI-driven savings. AI compute demand is growing more than twice as fast as Moore's Law, straining global supply chains and power grids. Most companies remain in AI experimentation, while a minority adopts agentic AI at scale, directing up to half of technology spending toward AI agents. The report identifies four levels of AI maturity and notes SaaS providers must adapt business models to remain competitive. Governments are prioritizing sovereign AI, leading to fragmented global technology standards, while quantum computing and humanoid robots emerge as new trends. Technology private equity deals have slowed due to geopolitical tensions, but technology investment continues to outperform other sectors.

Virtual power plants currently operate in fragmented systems that limit distributed energy resource participation, with less than 20% of capacity enrolled. Rising energy demand from industrial expansion, AI data centers, and transportation electrification is driving the need for technology-agnostic VPPs that can integrate diverse devices and brands. Industry groups are developing open standards to support interoperability, while regional regulations and business strategies influence adoption rates. Utilities are advised to build partnerships, invest in foundational systems, and leverage both single-technology and tech-agnostic VPPs as the market evolves. Policy decisions and economic incentives will impact the pace and scale of VPP integration.

MIT’s Martin Trust Center for Entrepreneurship incorporates artificial intelligence into its programs, encouraging students to use AI tools like Jetpack and Orbit for business planning and resource networking. Students in the delta v startup accelerator use AI to accelerate coding, presentations, and idea generation, but are required to verify AI-generated information and engage directly with customers. Startups such as Mendhai Health and Cognify integrate AI into their business models, while the Trust Center maintains that identifying customers, selecting markets, and building teams remain essential tasks that require human involvement.

Meta launched Hyperscape in early access, allowing Quest 3 and Quest 3S users aged 18 and older to scan and render photorealistic virtual replicas of real-world rooms. The scanning process takes minutes, while rendering the digital space takes several hours. Initial access does not allow inviting others, but private link sharing is planned. Meta demonstrated Hyperscape by recreating spaces such as Gordon Ramsay’s kitchen and the UFC Apex’s Octagon. The technology uses Gaussian Splatting, cloud rendering, and streaming. Meta also announced new VR games, expanded streaming options for Horizon TV, and partnerships for immersive movie experiences.
