The month of September brings us a powerful message: artificial intelligence is no longer a tool that complements human work, but an infrastructure that transforms the way we lead, produce, research, and even understand the Internet.

From Sam Altman’s provocative vision of a future where a CEO could be an AI, to the advancements of the cheaper and more versatile GPT-5, we’re seeing startups begin to reorganize their operations without looking back. In parallel, the open source ecosystem is responding strongly: Deepseek V3.1 offers a model almost as powerful as GPT-5 but much more accessible, democratizing access to cutting-edge technology in regions like Europe and Latin America.

For its part, Abacus AI is launching Code LLM CLI, a terminal-based code agent that switches between models and adapts to developers’ styles. And in the field of robotics, OpenMind introduced OM1, the first open-source operating system for humanoid robots, which aims to become the “Android” of robotics, while Apple is preparing its own leap with prototypes that could bring Siri into the physical world as a robotic home assistant by 2026 or 2027.

All of this is happening against a backdrop of a boom in new models from Google, Meta, Microsoft, and ByteDance, which are already finding applications as ambitious as NASA’s space robotics tests. However, the other side of the coin is beginning to become apparent: a report warns that AI bot traffic is already saturating the network, increasing costs, compromising efficiency, and raising questions about the sustainability of the global digital infrastructure.

At Data Innovation, we believe this contrast defines the current moment. The same AI that promises to democratize access to knowledge, increase productivity, and expand robotics also threatens the stability of the internet, the common good that sustains it. The question is not whether AI will change our future—it is already doing so—but how we balance innovation with governance, inclusion, and sustainability. That will be the real challenge of the coming years.
