Between AI Cheerleaders and Doubters
As many of you who have been reading my blog might know by now, I continue to be an AI sceptic. Not because I cannot see its real value and its powers, but because of the way AI is being pursued and deployed around the world.

The Economic Effects of Far-Right Politics, Ten Years On
As we conclude 2025, during which my blog at least celebrated 25 years of the 21st century through innovations, it is time to cast our mind to the new year and what it might bring. 2025 will be remembered as the year that unleashed a tariff and trade war between the US and almost every… Continue reading The Economic Effects of Far-Right Politics, Ten Years On
