It's a useful reality check for anyone reading a crosstab like a fortune teller. For more on how data tools shape our understanding, explore the Forrester Function piece.

For more on how digital systems are evolving, our piece on AI Agents Shared User Images highlights why public trust remains a fragile thing.

Discover clarity when reality blurs with AI-assisted perception
Lorde's take on AI glasses cuts through the hype with refreshing clarity. Standing on stage, she noted how "increasingly in our world, it gets harder and harder to know what is real," and she's right. That unease isn't about resisting progress; it's about demanding tools that serve us without eroding trust. We're watching the line between digital and physical blur, and that deserves scrutiny, not blind adoption.
