Prompting looks simple — just type your question, right?

But the difference between a clear prompt and a vague one is huge.
One gives insight.
The other makes you think, “What on earth is that?”

Learn how to prompt with purpose:

Why is AI suddenly so powerful?
Because of one breakthrough: transformers.

Instead of reading a sentence word by word, transformers use attention, which lets them see the whole sentence at once — and understand how every word connects.

And now we are experiencing on children! Despite my experience of previously identifying as non binary I can see that this is unethical and cruel. No other medicines are tested on children.

⚙️ We use AI daily — but how many really understand what’s happening under the hood?

AI doesn’t think. It predicts — one word at a time.
And knowing how that works changes everything.

Curiosity is the real literacy.

AI doesn’t replace human intelligence — it extends it.

The power lies in AI agents — digital assistants you can train to work your way.
They format, research, and automate the grind so you can focus on insight, creativity, and control.
Think with AI don't fear it.

🧠 AI is here — but are you using it with insight, or just riding the hype?
This Friday, I’m launching AI with Insight, a self-paced course on how to use AI responsibly, creatively & accessibly.

🎧 Writers, do you do this too?

When I’m working on fiction, I often use music to get into the mindset—and even the voice—of my characters. A melody, rhythm, or lyric can help me tune into their tone in a way nothing else can.

Curious to know, do any other writers out there use music like this?

Great to speak at Fidelity International on how AI and DEI intersect—especially the risks of bias creeping into AI outputs. I also shared how AI is transforming life for disabled professionals, from accessibility to productivity. #AI #Inclusion #DEI #AssistiveTech #AccessibleAI

Testing my DIY studio for my new course on AI in everyday life 🎬

It’s about how AI is reshaping work, creativity, healthcare, education—even the environment. Plus tips on using it more accessibly and sustainably.

For the curious, the cautious, and the critical. Coming soon.

A small revelation this morning made me laugh—and got me thinking deeply about how we learn maths.

Who decides truth as AI becomes the default interface to knowledge?

A handful of labs now train frontier models — curating data, values & outputs. These aren’t neutral tools. They shape what we see, believe, and trust.

We need transparency, diversity & ethical AI.

Also: a wonderfully tautological image of me taking an artsy photo inside the gallery. Obviously.

Exciting news,
Today, I was finishing up preparing the session on AI research tools for my new course, explaining how to best use AI at work. I posed an example question to several AI tools

Inclusion should be about belonging, not just identity. Too often, we close down space for reflection and disagreement in the name of safety. But real inclusion means making room for honest conversation—even when we don’t all agree.
