What you can explore

The Brief is the reading companion to the AI Empowerment Observatory. It turns the Observatory’s published evidence into accessible stories across Canada, China, France, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Alongside the news, readers can explore research summaries, a weekly overview and a daily pause with art, words and music. Links to original sources let readers follow the evidence beyond each summary.

My role

I conceived and developed this project as part of my applied AI research. It connects my work on digital behavior and decision intelligence with a public resource for understanding AI and its human impact.
