Questions. Analysis. Useful outputs.

Welfare resilience in the AI transition.

Fellowship and collaborative research.
Framework and Kenya / Brazil applications.

Problem

Exposure to AI-related change does not establish whether a country’s welfare system is prepared to respond.

Analysis

Connect economic risks to policy levers and the enabling conditions needed for delivery.

My contribution

Co-authorship of the framework and country applications through a Windfall Trust fellowship.

Output

A public framework, with separate studies of Kenya and Brazil.

Implication

A way to distinguish measures that can be implemented now from those that depend on institutional reform.

Framework: Avinash Kothuri, Raphael Gregorian and Deric Cheng. Country co-authors are identified on the case-study page.

Building an AI-assisted second brain.

Ongoing AI implementation and workflow development, working with director Vahe Boghossian.

Problem

Make an existing archive more useful in everyday work while reducing time spent on routine tasks.

Bring AI into the workflow so archived material can be explored and used in new ways.

My contribution

I’m working with Sudanahye to build a second brain and develop AI-assisted ways of working with its archive.

In development

A practical knowledge workflow that connects the archive with day-to-day work and creative outputs.

Intended benefit

More time for priority work and more scope to develop ideas from the archive.

The project is ongoing. Its focus is practical implementation within the workflow.
