Research, experiments, and tools.
Current work from the GraspingAI studio: research projects, practical methods, conceptual frameworks, and experiments in human-AI systems.
AI Leaders Need Philosophers
An in-progress inquiry into the gap between AI leaders calling for philosophical thinking and the actual availability of philosophy-informed roles in tech, and what a real path into the field could look like.
Intentional Systems
A research framework for designing AI systems that preserve human agency, support meaningful choice, and remain legible to the people affected by them.
Metaphor Infrastructure
A project mapping how AI interface metaphors, including assistant, agent, copilot, brain, and tool, shape trust, agency, and use.
Organizational AI Adoption
Frameworks for helping organizations adopt AI without weakening judgment, accountability, culture, or decision quality.
Project Audit Goblin
Nielsen's heuristics have served design for thirty years, but they were written for deterministic software, and AI systems break most of them. A practical evaluation method for AI-powered products: usability, trust calibration, metaphor coherence, expectation alignment, and failure handling.
