A strategic project I envisioned 4 years ago, to help journalists cover the real-world impacts of artificial intelligence tools, is now a new chapter in @APStylebook. My hope: it helps more people write about these technologies accurately + in depth.

In our research we found that women were told they were too young to lead, too old to lead...and middle age wasn't quite right either. As it turns out no age is the right age to be a woman leader. See my latest @HarvardBiz article for solutions. hbr.org/2023/06/women-…

In a very digital world, it's tough to escape the algorithms that seem to dictate so much of our lives. But "we can choose differently when we go to a bookstore and wander the shelves, picking up the books that call to us. That's our curiosity."

Sacred Stacks of @MEDLabBoulder describes the #magic of technology and how tech-companies seek to reduce friction (that extra click), and instead invites us to increase the technological friction to make us slow down and realize the communal and sacred. doi.org/10.21428/6ffd8…

In the piece, he describes a project that uses synthetic media to show the experiences of WWII concentration camps. While a powerful story, what could this tech do in the hands of neo-N*zis who wish to write their own narrative?
