This essay sets out Isembard’s vision for the next industrial age: that humanity’s power has always flowed from the tools we wield, and that Artificial Intelligence is the next such tool only if it is embedded directly into the physical systems that shape the real economy. As geopolitics hardens and supply chains fracture, the decisive advantage will belong to those who can turn designs into trusted production at scale. The piece argues that the future of AI is embodied rather than abstract intelligence that learns by acting in factories, machines, and supply networks where reality pushes back - and introduces Manufacturing General Intelligence as the organising principle of a new industrial colossus, built not to speculate about the future, but to manufacture it.
