The start of a new series on what I’ve learned in nearly 20 years of being self-employed. Today: It never hurts to ask.

AI is not the puppet master
AI doesn’t change the world on its own. People who use AI change the world. Tools vs people.
Playing with AI: What are the different types of AI out there?
In my quest to understand the world into which ChatGPT has exploded, I thought that understanding more the different types of AI might be interesting. This is my take on the question and its answer.
What if public transportation was free & effective?
Michelle Wu, Boston’s new mayor, and her focus on free public transportation prompt some “what if” and “why not” thinking.
What if?
I am privileged to be able to spend my days working with scientists who want to learn how to turn their academic findings into information that the “general public” can understand and hopefully act upon. Many of the people I coach and train are natural scientists who have an up-close-and-personal view of human-caused climate change and global heating. Not only are they witness to what is happening now, but thanks to modelling, they have insights into what is likely to happen in the future. And frankly, for many of them, the future is at best worrying and at worst terrifying. They are continually perplexed at the disinterest in the problems they are uncovering by politicians, policy makers, the media, and us, the “general public*”.
I mention this because when I watched “Don’t look up” last night, I was overjoyed that someone in Hollywood had finally created a film that captured what scientists tell me that they experience. Sure, it’s a satire, but the basic storyline is one that I’ve heard time and again in my workshops and talks.
