The Urgent Need for AI Fluency
The case for AI Fluency as a human capability, not a technology rollout. Delivered to executive teams and leadership audiences.
What we think
The argument, in the open.
We put the case for cognitive infrastructure between covers, publish it on Substack, and take it to stages. Read it, or bring it to your room.
AI is most dangerous not when it fails, but when it works so well that people quietly stop thinking for themselves.

Talks and articles
One argument, many rooms.
Srini gives one keynote and adapts it to the room. Most AI talks tell an audience the tools are coming and they had better keep up. This one starts with what happens to a person, a team, or a region when the thing that built their capability quietly moves somewhere else. Ohio has lived that story once already.
