In 1996, Deep Blue became the first computer to beat Garry Kasparov in a chess game. In 2016, AlphaGo defeated Lee Sedol.

Now, in 2026, a humanoid robot called Lightning has beaten Usain Bolt’s world 100m record.

What will we see in 2036?

By 2050, science could look very different from today - not just faster, but fundamentally reshaped.

The future of science won’t be shaped by a single breakthrough, but by how responsibly we build the systems around it.

Across organisations, leaders are testing AI not just as a tool for automation, but as a partner in decision-making.

AI’s impact on decision-making will be defined not by its intelligence, but by how thoughtfully organisations integrate it into their work.

For decades, publishing was defined by what could be printed. Then it became what could be distributed digitally.
Now, it’s about what can be understood by machines and enhanced by data.

Recent research shows that AI models are 50% more sycophantic than humans. But scientific progress is driven by our ability to challenge assumptions, including our own. So, can researchers should be aware of this bias while using AI responsibly

AI is changing everything, except the fundamentals.

Research shows that soft skills like adaptability, collaboration & communication are what truly shape long‑term success.

In publishing, where tech evolves fast, it’s human skills that let teams innovate, scale & stay resilient.
