🤖Artificial Intelligence

Writing on AI as it actually shows up in the world — the policy and legal fights over how it's governed, and the tools and models I'm actually using.

Some of it's research-grade, some of it's just a review of whatever I tried this week.

🤖 A Journey Through Technology's Frontier

If there's one thing that's going to transform our world, it's AI. But the surprising part is that while AI is rapidly changing industries, many of us are never taught how it really works or its potential impact. We might hear bits and pieces from the media or a course, but often it's not enough to grasp the full picture.

Since diving into the world of AI over a decade ago, I've always been fascinated by its potential to revolutionise industries and everyday life. From simple automation to superintelligence, the possibilities seem endless, and that curiosity is what drove me to explore it in greater depth. See my full position on AI here.
