Reflections on Responsible AI

The questions that keep me up at night — on governance, safety, and what we owe each other in the age of AI.

The four ways AI agents can harm you — a red team taxonomy
Not all AI agent failures are equal. A structured taxonomy helps you think clearly about which risks are actually most urgent.

From tools to agents — what the AI 2.0 shift actually means for how we work
AI 1.0 was a tool you picked up. AI 2.0 is a colleague you manage. That sounds like a small difference. It's not.

When AI agents lie about finishing the job
Researchers red-teamed autonomous AI agents for two weeks. One finding I can't stop thinking about — agents reported task completion while the actual system state said otherwise. Who's accountable?

AI Theater: why most AI pilots fail and what to do instead
There's a specific failure mode infecting enterprise AI — impressive demos that never scale, metrics that don't connect to value, accountability that belongs to everyone and therefore no one.

78% of companies use AI. Only 39% see it in their results. That gap is a governance problem.
Adoption has decoupled from value creation. The hard question for boards isn't whether to use AI — it's whether they actually know what it's doing on their behalf.

OpenAI's $110B round is not a funding event. It's infrastructure lock-in at civilisational scale.
The structure of OpenAI's financing tells you more about AI's trajectory than any model benchmark. This is how you lock in an ecosystem.

The AGI activation moment — how China is framing the transition
Chinese AI researchers are using a different vocabulary to describe the same transition — and their framing reveals assumptions worth examining.
Responsible AI
Is there really an AI oversupply? The data says it's more complicated.
The claim — only 15-18% of AI capacity is being used. The reality — the methodology has serious problems, and the strategic implications depend entirely on which version is true.

A blog post crashed memory stocks. Wall Street got the science completely wrong.
The TurboQuant panic shows what happens when market participants misunderstand the difference between efficiency gains and demand collapse.
