The world is standing at the dawn of the Intelligent Age. This transformation is as profound as the discovery of electricity or the rise of the internet, with over $15 trillion in new value from artificial intelligence (AI) expected by 2030. But recent analysis from the Continuum Institute, which researches AI governance and innovation, suggests that a significant part of that promise could already be at risk, throttled by governance fragmentation, technical incompatibility and a fundamental deficit of trust.
This means an intelligent world economy is being built on a fractured foundation. Algorithms now travel faster than the agreements that govern them and no shared venue exists to coordinate their norms. The result is a trust gap, a silent drag quietly taxing global growth and confidence.
