Technological progress must be guided by purpose and human impact, not just innovation for its own sake.
The future of money and digital transactions will be defined by agentic systems — AI frameworks that act on behalf of individuals transforming daily exchanges from intentional to automated, value-driven interactions.
Socio-cultural evolution, rather than technology alone, will determine how financial and digital systems adapt to human needs.
Amit’s work challenges Silicon Valley’s focus on the “what” and “how” of technology, emphasizing instead the “why” and “for whom.”
True innovation lies in aligning ambition, technology, and empathy using godlike technologies to solve humanity’s most pressing problems, from identity and displacement to economic inequality.
Building with impact by design means ensuring that every innovation contributes positively to the people it touches, fulfilling both social responsibility and long-term value creation.
