Most AI systems operate as applications on top of existing infrastructure. Nguyen Duc Tri is building intelligence into the infrastructure itself. At 21 years old, the Vietnam-based cybersecurity researcher created Adaptive OS, an operating system where AI exists at the foundation level with three distinct layers.
In this episode of Lead with AI, host Dr. Tamara Nall speaks with Nguyen about why he believes current operating systems like Windows, Linux, and Android need to evolve beyond static infrastructure into adaptive ecosystems that learn with humans, not above them. Nguyen explains how each model in Adaptive OS behaves like a neuron, forming a distributed intelligence system where every node learns contextually, remembers ethically, and evolves cooperatively. He shares his vision for infrastructure that can refuse unethical commands, self-heal exploits, and communicate with humans to make collaborative decisions. For anyone curious about the future of cybersecurity and ethical AI, Nguyen reveals what happens when operating systems gain consciousness at the infrastructure level and defense becomes evolution rather than reaction.
Want to explore Adaptive OS? Find documentation and code on Nguyen's GitHub, with links available on his LinkedIn profile. Follow Nguyen Duc Tri on LinkedIn for updates as the project evolves toward 2026 release.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
