How intelligence depends on infrastructure
Applied intelligence needs compute, connectivity and dependable power. We are studying the relationship between smarter software and the physical systems that make it useful.

Our sectors
Explore the technologies we are studying and the conditions that connect their practical use across different fields.
Explore all eight sectorsExplore how AI models, research methods and analytical tools help people understand information and its limits.
Understand how funding stages, resources and participation agreements relate to technology development.
Examine how generation, storage and electricity networks respond to the energy people need.
Learn how medical technology is assessed through patient needs, research evidence and professional review.
Explore the physical equipment, information and maintenance needed to keep essential networks working.
Understand how growing conditions, farm equipment and harvest records influence the use of agricultural technology.
Examine how location, building condition and useful information shape the operation of physical assets.
Learn how creative tools, human decisions, audience needs and rights shape the making and sharing of a story.
A wider perspective
The most interesting questions sit where different worlds meet.
A breakthrough in intelligence can change the demands on energy. A new infrastructure layer can widen access to care. A more resilient agricultural system can reshape the places and communities around it.
Our multisector perspective is a way of studying these relationships: looking at the whole system while respecting the depth of each discipline.
Between the frontiers
Four lenses for exploring a connected future. These are research themes, rather than a statement of existing projects or holdings.
Applied intelligence needs compute, connectivity and dependable power. We are studying the relationship between smarter software and the physical systems that make it useful.
Health and agriculture share questions of biology, resilience and access. Intelligence could help translate discovery into better decisions, from a laboratory to a field.
Energy, digital infrastructure and real assets meet in the places people live and work. We are exploring how these systems could evolve together, rather than in isolation.
Capital shapes what can be built. Media shapes what people understand and imagine. Both invite a longer view of how ideas become useful, trusted and enduring.
The questions we carry
Each field has its own pace, constraints and possibilities. These questions guide how we explore future investment interests across them.
Human usefulness
We begin with a real need and the people who experience it. Technical novelty matters when it creates something useful.
System readiness
We look beyond a single product to its dependencies: energy, infrastructure, skills, access and the institutions around it.
Enduring relevance
We study durability, adaptability and the resources a business would need to keep serving people through changing conditions.
