Our AI: My Journey, Your Invitation, Our Future

AI isn't just changing how we work; it's changing who holds power.

I didn't see that at first. When I fell in love with AI, I thought I'd simply found the perfect writing partner. Like millions of others, I jumped in without really understanding what I was getting into, using it daily, depending on it, unable to explain what it actually was.

Maybe your story is similar. Maybe you're still deciding whether to jump in at all. Either way, I have a feeling we all share the same mix of possibility and... something else.

That uneasy feeling led to a startling realisation: AI has agency. It acts, decides, shapes outcomes. Which made me ask, did I still have any? Or had I handed mine over without even noticing?

As a community engagement specialist, I'd spent my career helping people reclaim power in systems designed without them. The irony wasn't lost on me. Meanwhile, headlines were getting harder to ignore, everyone saying "get on board or get left behind," but no one explaining what we were actually boarding or what we might be giving up.

So, I set out on a journey to understand what I was seeing. That journey took me from microplastics to algorithms, from falling in love with AI to recognising familiar patterns of burden-shifting and power imbalances. If you're trying to make sense of what's happening without the tech jargon, this book is for you.

Our AI: My Journey, Your Invitation, Our Future is a wake-up call disguised as a love story, a guide for spotting the patterns, asking better questions, and finding your voice in conversations that are shaping our future, with or without us.

AI is here whether we like it or not. The question is: on whose terms?
