Translating the AI transition into institutional readiness.

I write, convene, and advise on how AI is reshaping work, education, governance, and public institutions. My work focuses on the practical question now facing leaders: how societies prepare their people, schools, rules, and organizations for general-purpose intelligence.

Why this work matters now

Between 2024 and 2030, the world will move from AI as a product to AI as institutional infrastructure. Labour markets will reorganise. Schools will be asked to redesign what they teach. Regulators will be asked to govern systems they do not yet understand. The gap between what is now possible and what our institutions are currently ready for is the defining policy problem of the decade. The task is to close it in public, in time, and without surrendering the things that make societies worth governing.

“The question is no longer whether AI will reshape work and learning. It is whether our institutions will be ready, or whether they will be redesigned around them by default.”

Focus areas

Four connected questions shape my current work.

AI workforce transformation

Frameworks for how governments, firms, and unions should treat work as it is being rewritten by capable models — not as a labour shock, but as an institutional redesign.

AI in education

From curriculum to credentialing: how the pre-AI education stack needs to be rebuilt so that the next generation can govern, not just use, the systems they inherit.

Governance & institutional design

How public institutions can stay legible in a world of autonomous systems. Less about banning tools, more about upgrading the capacity of the state.

International dialogue & convening

Bringing policymakers, researchers, and operators into the same room, on terms that privilege specificity over slogan. The work of translating emerging change into shared strategy.

Selected writing

Selected essays, notes, and briefings on the institutional edges of the AI transition.

All writing

AI governance

Institutional readiness is the real AI policy question

Most AI policy debates skip the harder prerequisite: whether the institution doing the governing is ready to govern anything at all.
