Last week, I discovered a text that seemed written specifically for this mission.

She speaks of a world being remade by technology, but anchored by something much more powerful: Human Agency.
In a landscape of shifting global powers and algorithmic noise, her vision for 2026 provides the exact clarity we need as we build for the future.
