Projects

A public library of things I build with AI, each with the story of how it was made. It's small for now, because most of what I'm building is still in progress.

Building something?

I'm most interested in AI for low-resource settings, especially in low- and middle-income countries, and in what it takes to scale it. If you're an entrepreneur or implementer working on that, whether it's BoloBox or your own idea, I'd love to connect.

    AI Economics Atlas

    A map of economics research on AI, about 110 papers so far, grouped by topic.

    GoalHelp people see quickly what is known about the economics of AI, and where the gaps are.

    I'd love feedback on how it's organized. What grouping or layout would make it more useful to you?
