New Book
AI and a Future Being Written
A book that cuts through the hype to confront what artificial intelligence is actually doing, who controls it, and why it matters.
What's Inside
From algorithmic bias to autonomous weapons, from AI governance vacuums to the structural forces driving development without guardrails.
We're building minds we don't fully understand, and deploying them faster than any safety framework can keep up. This book explains why that matters.
Most governments don't have the authority or know-how to govern AI. The gap between what AI can do and what anyone can verify is growing every month.
AI is silently reshaping global power dynamics. From military intelligence to economic competition, the stakes are higher than most people realize.
Drawing on philosophy, safety engineering, and the hard lessons of nuclear history to ask: what does responsible development actually look like?
From algorithms that denied medical care to real patients, to the 2020 debacle where the U.S. DoD demanded unrestricted access to autonomous systems.
No jargon. No prerequisites. Just clear thinking about the most consequential technology of our lifetime, written for anyone who wants to understand it.
"This is the book for anyone who suspects the most consequential technology of our lifetime deserves more than blind trust, and wants to understand it before the window to shape its future closes."
