Why I'm Building "Don't Fear AI"

There’s a lot of talk around AI, and for good reason: AI is transforming industries, driving innovation, and making its way into almost every aspect of our lives. But, with all the excitement comes a fair share of fear—will AI take over jobs? How safe is it? Can we really trust it? These are just a few of the concerns I aim to address through Don't Fear AI, a new platform and community that goes beyond simply explaining AI. It’s about fostering a space where we can openly discuss both the promises and the challenges of this technology.

I created Don't Fear AI because I believe that understanding AI should be accessible to everyone—not just those with technical expertise. AI is often shrouded in mystery and misunderstanding, which can lead to unnecessary fear and pessimism. The more we know about it, the more we can shift the conversation from fear to informed curiosity. This newsletter and community are here to provide clear, factual, and engaging insights on what AI is capable of, where it falls short, and how we can shape its development responsibly.
