Sweden just did something radical: Brought back textbooks and printed journals.

The most precious learning content of the next decade won’t be an app, a platform, or a prompt.

It will be a physical book. A printed journal. A pencil on paper.

More AI. More need for trust.

· Professor Naseem Naqvi MBE

Editorial introductionAn argument that the spread of AI will increase demand for blockchain-enabled trust infrastructure.

Original post · 27 February 2026
Many industries will be disrupted by AI, including AI companies themselves.

Blockchain, by contrast, stands to benefit.

As AI proliferates, demand for blockchain-enabled trust infrastructure will rise with it.

AI makes the cost of trust impossible to ignore

· Professor Naseem Naqvi MBE

Editorial introductionA research-linked reflection on the work involved in maintaining trust and what AI could change.

Original post · 31 January 2026
Nearly 1 in 3 jobs in the U.S. exist just to maintain TRUST.

And in sectors like finance, management and healthcare, it’s over 50% of the workforce.

With the rise of AI, this cost will rise exponentially.

(Paper from BBA Fellow, Prof @SincDavidson , et al).

Direction matters more than speed

From the original postTech companies need to remember this Gandhi quote. Too many move fast toward the wrong goals: shipping over outcomes, growth over value, automation over accountability. Speed isn’t the advantage. Direction is.
