S14 Ep1: AI in Government — Five Facts That Change the Map
From Influential Visions by Nat Schooler - Business Futurist
May 19, 2026 · 8 min · Season 14 · Episode 1
About this episode
Nat Schooler explores the evolving global AI landscape and the importance of trust in AI implementation.
Every country is running a different AI experiment on itself right now. Most people only see one of them. For five years, the AI story had four postcodes — San Francisco, Brussels, Beijing, and maybe London on a slow news day. That era just ended. In this opening episode of Series 14, Nat Schooler — ex-IBM futurist and host of Influential Visions — maps the new global AI landscape through three lenses: power, people, and place. Five facts. One framework. And one thesis he will defend across every episode: AI scales volume, but human networks scale judgement. Shownotes here. The countries winning with AI are not the ones with the biggest models. They are the ones with the strongest trust built underneath. For leaders, executives, and anyone trying to navigate a world where the rules are being rewritten faster than you can read them. Subscribe. Share with one leader asking the wrong questions.
