The Reasoning Revolution: How the latest wave in AI is reshaping technology and society

The latest wave of AI innovations - from Model Context Protocol (MCP) to advanced agentic systems - is ushering in what we might call the "post-big data" era. This doesn't mean data is becoming less important. Quite the opposite. Data is becoming so seamlessly integrated into intelligent systems that the traditional boundaries between collection, processing, and action are dissolving. Businesses are no longer building bigger data warehouses—they're constructing smarter reasoning networks where multiple AI agents collaborate on complex problems.
