Just a few days ago, an event occurred that should have been headline news in all media: a theoretical physics research project, led by renowned Andrew Strominger and Alex Lupsasca, included GPT-5.2, an artificial intelligence model, as a co-author. It was not just a curiosity or a provocation: in just twelve hours, the AI collaborated in solving and demonstrating a significant problem in quantum physics. The frontier of knowledge is no longer exclusively human. And this is just the beginning. Recently, Anthropic Code 4.6 reached eighth place in the International Programming Olympiad, competing almost on par with the best humans. Everything indicates that it will soon surpass the top positions, as the gap is minimal and the evolution of these systems is rapid. These examples show that AI is already reaching, and even surpassing, the limits of human knowledge in various fields. In the coming months, we will see a new generation of even more advanced systems. However, the real challenge is not just which technologies we adopt, but the speed at which we do so. Technology alone does not generate value: it arises when it is transformed into innovation and integrated into real processes, redefining who thrives and who falls behind, which economies grow and which stagnate. Two recent cases illustrate the magnitude of the change. Anthropic introduced Cowork, and OpenAI launched Codex 5.3. The most relevant aspect is not just the product, but the process: both were developed and verified largely by other AI models, achieving levels of automation close to 90%. In other words, AI is already building the next generation of AI. In these companies, the role of the software engineer is changing: less manual programming, more supervision and orchestration. Anthropic, for example, went from needing two years and a hundred engineers to develop Code, to creating Cowork in just a week and a half with only five engineers. It is not an exact comparison, but it illustrates the leap in productivity. For those of us who regularly use tools like GPT Deep Research, Anthropic Code, or Cowork, it is clear: this is not an incremental improvement, but a paradigm shift. AI is already building the next generation of AI. Many software engineers no longer program as they used to. They use models that write, review, and improve code. Anthropic also recently launched a legal plug-in, joining existing ones for finance, productivity, or integration with Microsoft Office. These plug-ins are not simple additions, but systems capable of executing complete tasks, such as reviewing contracts or connecting with legal databases. The impact was immediate: Thomson Reuters fell nearly 19% in the stock market, and other companies in the sector experienced similar declines. This has led to the theory of "SaaSpocalypse": the possibility that many SaaS companies will be replaced by agentic AI systems capable of capturing much of the value that traditional solutions currently generate, especially in areas like business intelligence or data access. The key question is: if this happens in Silicon Valley, what will happen elsewhere? There is a gap between the speed of technology and the speed of its adoption. Value is not created in the lab, but in effective adoption. Some organizations and countries are already integrating these technologies into the core of their processes, while others remain critical and passive, losing relevance. In Europe, and especially in Spain, the use of generative AI is high, but the use of chatbots is confused with a real transformation of the economy. Using AI for individual tasks improves productivity, but the real leap occurs when entire processes are automated and whole tasks are delegated to intelligent systems. For example, in the legal field, contract review no longer falls on junior lawyer teams, but on agent systems that automate the process and only require human intervention in exceptional cases. The same happens in programming: models generate and improve code, while humans define architecture and priorities. The productivity difference between working with a chatbot and operating with agentic systems is vast. It is not about how many people use AI, but about the ability to build systems that transform entire organizations. Currently, we have a lot of chatbot usage and some automation, but few agentic systems that redefine our organizations. We are getting used to consuming AI as a personal tool, when the real revolution lies in deploying it as productive infrastructure. Adopting technology is not just about using generic tools, but about building, integrating, and transforming the productive fabric with them. The uncomfortable question is inevitable: who is building our future? Because the future will belong to those who create it. Those who do will capture the value; those who do not will fall behind. And the gap between those who adopt deeply and those who do not is growing at the pace of technology. The future will not belong to those who best use a chatbot, but to those who build systems that work for them.
