The Deep View

AI is often sold as a utopian story. Unlimited abundance. Endless productivity. A better future for everyone. But behind that narrative is a very different reality, one driven by power, control, and a race that few people fully understand. We went deep on this topic in our first long-form, written by Nat Rubio-Licht. We believe this is one of the most important AI stories published this year.

In the latest episode of The Deep View Conversations, we sit down with Alex Rinke, co-founder and co-CEO of @Celonis, to unpack one of the most overlooked truths in enterprise AI. Don't miss it: tdv.transistor.fm/episodes/41-wh…

Last month, @TheDeepView published a longform story that raised the red flag about AI power centralizing into too few hands. Yesterday, Sam Altman published a manifesto calling for AI to be decentralized. thedeepview.com/articles/altma…

AWS CEO Matt Garman says we're rapidly moving toward a world of 1 billion agents. And he says Amazon is hiring more developers than it ever has and only sees that accelerating. Amazon is hiring 11,000 roles more broadly in 2026. And "the jobs will be a little different." It will

NEW: To commemorate Google Translate’s 20-year anniversary, the company launched pronunciation practice, which uses AI to analyze your speech and give you instant feedback. The feature is now available in the US and Infia in English, Spanish and Hindi. Google says it is one of

⚙️ New episode alert! Analysts, marketers, and business owners face the same question: How do you reach audiences in an era when AI is reshaping how people search and find information they need? That’s a top-of-mind issue for Pat Brown, SVP of global marketing, growth, analytics, and platform at @Adobe. Brown joins The Deep View Conversations to share his unique perspective on the issue, with the expertise of someone who was doing marketing science before it was even called that, and who, in his current role, is responsible for global marketing execution across various forms of media and has to put these skills into practice every day. Pat breaks down how AI is moving beyond content generation to reshape media workflows end-to-end, from audience measurement to agents that automate entire processes. Topics covered: + The role of AI agents in automating marketing workflows + How AI in marketing can augment rather than replace creativity + AI-powered marketing tools that help analyze patterns and signals + Whether AI has “killed” SEO and what that means for marketers’ jobs + The rise of new terms like AEO and GEO in a “zero-click” search world + Why it’s still worth investing in marketing and brand strategy despite AI changes + Why today’s AI-driven SEO landscape feels like the early days of SEO If you want to understand how AI is reshaping and helping individuals connect more effectively with audiences, this conversation will leave you feeling more knowledgeable about those topics. 📺 Watch on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=j_vo4W… 🎧 Listen in your favorite podcast player: tdv.transistor.fm/episodes/40-ho… Subscribe to the podcast for weekly conversations with the leaders shaping the future of AI.

Another insight on GPT-5.5 from my article on The Deep View: The OpenAI team said the model itself and the company's agentic coding tool Codex were used to build GPT-5.5. This process of the models helping to build themselves is called recursive self-improvement (RSI) and it has

For GPT-5.5, let's talk about safety. Because the model is lot more powerful and a lot more agentic, safety had to scale up to match. And the press talked about this with the OpenAI team. In a briefing earlier this morning, OpenAI VP of Research @Mia_Glaese said the company

The robots are doing backflips. They're fighting. They're organizing rooms and running marathons. And the more they show off, the higher the expectations climb. But here's the question nobody's really stopping to ask: why does AI need a body at all? Why two legs, two arms, a head? Why does it need to look like us? Nat Rubio-Licht (@natrubio__) did a deep dive inside the race to create humanoids to find out. The answer is more fascinating, and more unsettling, than you'd expect. 🔗 thedeepview.com/articles/the-r…

⚙️ New episode of The Deep View Conversations! We sat down with Dave Horton, VP of Solutions Engineering at Airia, to explore one of the biggest tensions in enterprise AI today: how to move fast without losing control. Airia is building a platform designed to plug AI into every corner of an organization while keeping data secure and systems governed. Dave breaks down why that balance is harder than it looks, and why many companies are underestimating the complexity of deploying AI agents at scale. We also dig into the surge of interest in agentic AI in 2026, including a contrarian perspective on OpenClaw and the idea that agents will quickly replace human work. Dave argues that the real challenge is not capability, but coordination, and that success comes down to three pillars: security, governance, and orchestration. Beyond the tech, Dave shares his journey building alongside the Airia founders, why funding is pouring into AI startups, and how the AI ecosystem is evolving across London, the UK, and Europe. He also reveals the AI tool that has most transformed the way he works. If you want a grounded, real-world view of where enterprise AI is headed, and what it will actually take to make it work, this conversation delivers. 📺 Watch on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=xtZ4PC… 🎧 Listen in your favorite podcast player: tdv.transistor.fm/episodes/39-wh… Subscribe for more conversations at the frontier of AI.
