Artificial intelligence is no longer a distant concept or a laboratory experiment. It is embedded in our interfaces, shaping how we think, decide and act.

In this episode of BASELINE, I sit down with Esra Kasapoglu to explore what happens when knowledge becomes abundant, agency becomes distributed, and AI moves from being a tool to becoming what she calls a “cognitive prosthetic.”We discuss how generative AI is reshaping power structures inside corporations, governments and everyday life.

If everyone now has access to knowledge, where does real power sit? Who designs the incentives that shape behaviour? And what does it actually mean for a country to become an “AI superpower”?
