The most successful people I know can do in a day what takes most people a week..

75 years of Pakistan-China friendship. Honoured to attend the state banquet hosted by Premier Li Qiang at the Great Hall of the People, marking a relationship that has stood the test of time and continues to evolve into a partnership shaping the future of the region and beyond.

A system you can't observe is solvent and insolvent at once, so the fix isn't less privacy, it's verifiable solvency: proving the pool is whole without revealing who's in it. Markets can price a loss; they can't price an unanswerable question. "No evidence of exploit" and "provably no exploit" are different sentences, and the gap between them is where the next standard gets built. Privacy is a feature; unfalsifiability is a liability, and separating the two is the work ahead.

Anthropic IPO valuation: $965 Billion (4 years old). The Physical Economy: Combined stock market cap of Pakistan, Bangladesh, & Nigeria: ~$190 Billion Combined annual GDP (economic output): ~$1.35 Trillion Anthropic's paper value is 5x the entire public market equity of those three nations - and it is rapidly chasing down their combined annual economic output. Millions of people from 3 nations vs. ~5,000 employees. None of them owns the servers the whole thing runs on. They rent & run their tech. But not everyone gets to rent - the access part should be the focus. We have officially transitioned from the economy of geography to the economy of compute. The physical barrier is gone. The only barrier left is access to the infrastructure layer. The nations that figure out how to build and own their own intelligence layer will dominate the next century. The ones that just rent it will be left behind.

One of the most powerful ideas about AI is that we can use AI to learn AI itself. As technology continues to evolve, the real opportunity is not just consuming AI tools but understanding how they work & building systems that create value for society. What makes this even more interesting is how timeless knowledge & modern innovation can complement each other. The Quran repeatedly encourages reflection, learning and the pursuit of knowledge principles that remain relevant in the age of artificial intelligence. The future belongs to those who combine wisdom with technology, using AI not just to automate tasks, but to solve meaningful problems and empower communities. Appreciate the insights shared by @Bilalbinsaqib on how Pakistan can embrace innovation while staying connected to its values. #AI #Innovation #BilalBinSaqib #FutureTech

Every breakthrough is called crazy before it becomes obvious. A few months ago, people mocked the idea that AI agents, robots and autonomous systems would need blockchain rails to transact. Today, that infrastructure is being built in real time. Pakistan’s biggest risk is not technology. It is legacy thinking. The same mindset that brought us here cannot take us into the next financial order. We must regulate early, build early and make sure our youth benefit from the technologies shaping the future.

In Shenzhen, I spoke about the coming autonomous era, where machines will transact, coordinate and make decisions in real time. Key moments: 01:11 — The nation that trains AI talent today will lead tomorrow 01:50 — The capability no nation can buy in a crisis 03:04 — Regulating technology that moves exponentially 04:13 — Regulation: not a cage, but a ladder 05:07 — The autonomous era is an opening for emerging economies 05:25 — Mobile payments, digital identity — the leapfrog precedent. 06:13 — Pakistan’s first asset: 140 million under 30 06:42 — Pakistan’s second asset: a natural proving ground for autonomous tech 07:30 — Pakistan’s pledge: hand in hand with China in the cognitive era Policy moves at the speed of committees. Technology moves at the speed of compute. I've been in both rooms. The committees move slower than you think. The technology moves faster than anyone admits. The countries that train talent, build regulatory ladders and deploy early will not just adopt the future. They will help define it.

Pakistan is actively advancing its digital economy and developing forward-looking virtual assets regulatory framework to support innovation and emerging technologies: @Bilalbinsaqib #RadioPakistan #news radio.gov.pk/22-05-2026/paki…

Drones are becoming the eyes of industry. AI is becoming the operating system of economies. And blockchain is becoming the trust layer for autonomous civilization.

Honoured to speak at the opening session of the 10th World Drone Congress in Shenzhen, alongside leaders and innovators from 120 countries shaping the future of drones, UAVs, robotics and the low-altitude economy.
