We used to outsource memory to the internet. Now we're starting to outsource thinking itself. That's the real question behind my new book, You to the Power of Two, on identic AI. Get it here: www.amazon.com/You-Power-Tw...

Canada built its education and workforce systems for an era when skills changed slowly and intelligence itself was scarce. That assumption no longer holds. Recent report with Alex: www.blockchainresearchinstitute.org/project/rebu...

Canada can't keep renting its digital future: our own compute, data, and infrastructure, same as we built our own electrical grid. New report with Alex: www.einpresswire.com/article/9199...

National sovereignty in AI gets the headlines: who controls the compute and data. But there's a more personal question: who owns your agent? As AI starts to act for you, ownership decides whose interests it serves. My new essay: open.substack.com/pub/dontapsc...

One of the most important developments in AI right now is the emergence of governance systems for autonomous agents. As enterprises and governments build infrastructure around systems that reason and act, the conversation must shift from capability alone toward governance, accountability, and trust.

A personal AI controlled by a platform is not necessarily personal. As agents move from theory to mass-market reality, the key question is not what they can do. It is who they serve. That is why Identic AI matters.

In my latest column for the Financial Post, I argue that the next phase of AI must serve individuals, not institutions, and that digital sovereignty must extend beyond nations.... to people. Have a read and join the conversation: financialpost.com/technology/d...
