Greetings 🖖
I'm a futurist and the founder of Envisioning, a technology research institute. Since 2010 I have helped governments and companies make sense of emerging technology. These days most of my time goes to AI: using it, teaching it and building with it.
Now: building Bipe and Starlings, running Envisioning, teaching vibe coding to people who don't code, and writing the Artificial Insights newsletter.
