My sons care deeply about ending war and protecting artists, yet trust technology without question. I built 33 interactive experiences to help young people understand the hidden costs of the systems they use every day—before they lose their idealism.

Inspired by Zadie Smith's essay on finding authentic voice through structured thinking, I built an AI-powered tool that guides writers through Socratic dialogue to discover their core beliefs, writing process, and intellectual identity.

Inspired by Joy Buolamwini's Gender Shades project, we created a game that makes algorithmic bias tangible for children. Watch as kids discover their own unconscious biases—and the power they have to change them.

Maybe the most ambitious AI bias experiment I've thought of. After spending many days immersed in this project, I can honestly say I've built something very cool that reveals patterns of human prejudice across 175 years.

A reflection on winning the Global Dialogues Challenge and what comes next in building cultural intelligence for the AI age. From detective games to global classrooms, here's how we can prepare the next generation to build technology that works for everyone.

What if understanding how different cultures embrace or resist AI wasn't a matter of dry statistics, but a noir detective story? I built an interactive experience that transforms 3,400 voices from 70 nations into a game of cultural discovery.
