It’s been a busy couple of weeks, but I wanted to share 6 key ideas I’ve been researching and speaking on, and expect to trend in 2027. 💫

🤖 Ambient Intelligence – The evolution of AI chatbots and AI Agents.

💰 High Frequency Micro-Payments – The Agent-to-Agent (A2A) economy is disrupting the future of how companies manage and spend money, creating an enormous amount of new transactions, as well as an enormous amount of new economic actors.

🧬 Data – Moving from static to smart, active, and maybe even weaponised.

🛡️ AI Vulnerability Scoring System – We can’t predict every new AI threat or way AI could fail, so new quantifiable risk assessment systems are being developed to measure a system’s resilience and robustness, from likelihood and impact, to speed of detection, containment, and recovery.

💸 Token costs – A recent survey by EY found that 98% of organisations using token-based AI are reconsidering their AI strategy due to its cost. We can also expect to see a rise in model routing, where simple tasks are sent to cheaper models while difficult tasks are reserved for expensive reasoning models.

⚖️ Human ROI – In addition to measuring monetary ROI, we also must establish frameworks that measure how this technology is working for us as humans – or not working for us, as some research suggests.

🎤 Planning an event for 2027? My keynote calendar is now open, and I’d love to share what’s coming next with your audience!

Amelia Kallman is a futurist, speaker, and author specialising in emerging technologies, the future of business, and human behaviour.

In this edition of The Big Reveal, I focus on potential solutions to some of the issues and concerns I’m hearing from clients across industries—including how to assess and mitigate AI risks, token costs, and the evolving security landscape. 

Including:

– Moving Target Defence for edge cloud environments

Token costs and model routing

– Framework for AI risk assessment

– First (nearly) 1-person $1B company

– Micro payments in the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) economy

– Hotlines for AI to snitch on other agents

– Honeytokens, Zip-bombs, and hack-backs

– Evolution into dynamic data

– Religious exemption from AI in the workplace

I originally went independent as a futurist because I felt like no one was speaking enough about risk—and if we don’t know about risks, how can we avoid them? So it is with great pleasure that I have been returning to my roots, focusing specifically on how we can mitigate risks around AI, and I look forward to sharing my latest research in Bucharest at this upcoming conference! #futurist #keynote #speaker #AIrisks #AIspeaker

Very happy to already have these awesome events in my fall calendar: London, Savudrija, Bucharest, New York City… Exciting times! And SO MUCH to say…! 🤩 🎤 💡

Thrilled to be back as a judge for the AV Awards! As the futurist on the judging panel I am always looks for who is innovating, pushing boundaries, and taking risks. Really fun to see what’s new and looking forward to the gala in November. Congrats to all the companies who made the shortlist!
