Welcome to my AI Lab Notebook

This is where I study AI not as a product, but as a system shaping human life.

Over time, three themes have defined my work:

1. AI Governance as Architecture: I build frameworks like the AI OSI Stack, persona architecture, and semantic version control because AI needs scaffolding, not slogans.

2. The Human Meaning Crisis in Machine Time: I explore how AI destabilizes identity, trust, and authenticity as machine speed outpaces human comprehension.

3. Power, Distribution, and Responsibility: I examine who benefits from AI, who is displaced, and how governance, economics, and control shape outcomes.

These pillars guide everything I write here. AI’s future won’t be determined by capability alone, it will be determined by the structures, meanings, and power dynamics we build around it.

Thanks for reading.

A Pivotal Conversation: Learning from Dominique Shelton Leipzig on AI Governance

I had the privilege of a long conversation with Dominique Shelton Leipzig, a leading authority on privacy and AI governance. The exchange offered insights, resources, and guidance that I could not have accessed otherwise. It marked a turning point in my work, clarifying how governance must blend law, ethics, and lived context. For me, it underscored the importance of mentorship in a field that too often moves faster than reflection. Progress is not only technical. It is also relational.
