This article is meant to be a conversational look at AI and how it could affect nearly everything. It’s for people who find most of the talk about AI alarming, overwhelming, or more technical than most of us need. The briefest possible summary of this article is as follows:

Author and speaker. I have a wealth of professional and entrepreneurial experiences. Most recently, I left a comfy tech career of nearly ten years to improv my way around Europe and the U.S. for two years. You could say I discovered my way into being a writer. I've learned through hard and rich life experiences the things a lot of people get PhDs to study and love sharing stories and insights with others.
I'm someone who thinks deeply, laughs often, talks with strangers, understands what makes humans tick, and happens to also be wrestling with the big technology questions facing all of us.
