In this episode of the Big Bang Tech Report, Jens de Buhr sits down with Alvin Wang Graylin, a global AI strategist, to discuss why 2026 may not be the breakthrough year for humanoid robots, but rather the year when AI agents become the real drivers of the digital economy. Speaking live from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Alvin explains how power is shifting across chips, models, platforms and geopolitics — and why collaboration is more important than an alleged “AI race”.

While humanoid robots remain limited by data, safety, and regulation, AI agents are evolving into the new...

In this episode of the Big Bang Tech Report, Jens de Buhr and tech strategist Alvin Wang Graylin unpack Alvin’s new Stanford paper “Beyond Rivalry” — a blueprint for navigating the geopolitical, economic and societal turbulence of the AI age.

They break down why the U.S. and China aren’t actually in an AI Cold War, what AGI really changes, and how a “guardian AI” could make the technology safer for everyone. Alvin explains his two big ideas for a soft landing after large-scale job disruption: a “GI Bill for the AI Age” and a global “AI Marshall Plan.”

In this episode of BIG BANG Tech Report, Jens de Buhr and Alvin Wang Graylin unpack two tectonic shifts reshaping tech and business: Google’s next-gen Gemini and the world-scale Genesis initiative. In under twenty minutes, they cut through headlines to show why these aren’t upgrades but paradigm shifts—from geopolitics and compute races to how companies, jobs, and markets will be reorganized.

What you’ll learn (at a glance):
• Why Genesis draws Manhattan-Project comparisons and what national-scale AI stacks could unlock.
• How Google’s AI-plus-silicon strategy turns it into a real NVIDIA challenger.
• Why Gemini is Google’s most consequential technical...

From brute force scaling to collaborative AI design – BIG BANG Tech Report #1
Are we leaving behind the era of “more GPUs, more parameters” and entering a phase in which collaborative, efficient, and design-driven AI sets the pace? In the first episode of BIG BANG Tech Report, Jens de Buhr and Alvin Wang Graylin discuss NVIDIA's dominance, Google's comeback, China's efficiency strategy with models such as DeepSeek and Kimi K2, and the rise of open-source ecosystems that enable innovation in days rather than months. If you're looking for clear classification and orientation rather than hype, you've come to the...
