What if intelligence was something everyone could access? In most versions of the future, AI becomes another dividing line: those who have access to powerful systems gain advantage, and those who don't fall further behind. But there's another possibility, a hopeful one. What if every person had access to sovereign AI aligned with their values, culture, identity, language, and aspiration? This is the promise of Universal Basic AI - not as a technical model, but as a moral stan

Who ensures AI remains accountable to the people it affects? We're entering into an era where governments around the world are beginning to rely on AI not just for efficiency, but for decision-making. Some are exploring AI-assisted governance. Some are trialling AI-driven services. And in at least one country, an "AI Minister" has been appointed. A move that has sparked equal parts of curiosity and alarm. This moment raises one of the most important ethical questions of our t

What happens when machines learn to meet our emotional needs? There's a quiet revolution happening. One that rarely makes headlines but is already reshaping how we relate to each other. AI has entered the emotional domain. Some people are forming meaningful bonds with chatbots. Some are using AI companions for comfort, confidence, or coping. For many, these are lifelines.

When intelligence becomes an industry, what gets sacrificed? There's a curious silence in the public conversation about AI. We talk endlessly about capability, efficiency, transformation - but almost never about the incentives shaping this technology, or the environmental footprint powering it. And yet, these two forces are quietly defining the trajectory of the AI era. Artificial intelligence is being built inside a capitalist system that rewards scale, speed, and dominance.

Who gets lifted by AI and who gets left behind? Every major technological shift in history has changed the distribution of opportunity. But AI is different in one crucial way: it doesn't just change what we do, it changes who gets to participate in the world that's being built. For many, AI will open doors to new careers, new businesses, and new forms of creativity. For others, it will quietly remove the pathways they've relied on for security. And if we're honest, these imp

Is AI moving faster than humans can keep up? There's a particular kind of unease that comes with watching a technology evolve faster than our ability to make sense of it. Artificial intelligence has pushed us into that space. Every month, sometimes every week, we see new system emerging. More capable, more autonomous, more deeply woven into the decisions that shape our lives. For many of us, there's a growing sense that society is being swept along by a current we didn't choo
