Welcome!
I was not sure if people still read newsletters but decided to give it a go anyway - and I am really happy to have you here.
It's 2026 - so my assumption is you are navigating the rapid integration of artificial intelligence in your professional life or trying to figure out what digital literacy looks like for you and your family at home.
Or, like me, doing both simultaneously.
This space is for you.
We are living through a massive technological shift. I don't really need to tell you this - I get to discuss AI even at kids playgrounds these days. And these discussions are not just about AI: they are about our future - the future of work, education, creativity, and much more.
And whether we are talking about institutional AI oversight or raising the next generation, we are facing the exact same defining challenge:
How do we preserve human agency in an automated world?
The underlying risks are identical. We are all navigating:
- Information gaps
- Hidden algorithmic bias
- Cognitive dependency (the subtle loss of critical thinking when we outsource it to a screen)
- The erosion of friction (where convenience replaces genuine capability)
Every digital interaction is a micro-choice about autonomy. Keeping our agency requires an ongoing commitment to constantly observing how automated tools change the way our teams work, our minds process information, and our children - learn.
Whether you have children or not, whether you work in tech or not, this newsletter is a space for anyone who wants to join (and lead) these critical conversations at work and at home.
What you can expect
Every week, I plan to share a thoughtful dispatch right to your inbox, bridging two worlds:
- Responsible AI at work: we will be deciphering AI governance, responsible adoption frameworks, and understanding how to use technology without losing human agency.
- AI/digital literacy and safety for home: practical strategies for intentional parenting and education in a digital age, cultivating critical thinking, and exploring tech with kids rather than just handing it over.
Let's build it together
It will be an ongoing, real-world observation of a landscape that changes by the hour - so I don't want this to be a one-way lecture.
To kick things off, I would love to hear from you:
What is the single biggest question or challenge you are currently facing with AI, either in your job or under your own roof?
Hit reply and let me know. I will read and respond to every message.
Your first official issue will hit your inbox soon. While you wait, you have full access to everything I have published so far.
Warmly,
Katya
