When AI gets it wrong, who pays the price?

Google’s Gemma AI just learned that lesson the hard way.
After a U.S. senator accused it of spreading false claims, Google had to pull the model.

This isn’t just about tech; it’s about accountability in the AI age.

My book, The Founder Catalyst, just broke into the Top 500 in Entrepreneurship Management on Amazon US (Kindle).
Not bad for a no-jargon, real-world founder’s guide.

Thanks to readers across borders who are picking it up 🙏
Kindle edition available worldwide.

AI Is Already Making Decisions for You. The truth is, AI is already making choices for us.
- Loan approvals
- Road planning
- Healthcare triage
- Credit scoring
For business leaders, the cost of ignorance is no longer tolerable.

"Which AI tool is right for me?". I’ve been getting this question a lot after my keynotes on AI. So, I put together a simple list of "Everyday AI Tools" — from writing help to running models on your PC, no coding needed. Feel free to use and share:

While editing my book, I kept running into cases where LLMs like ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, lift from popular sources when asked to "rewrite".
📋Most default to lifting from known good sources over just rewriting the given text.
🔎Ironically, they can spot plagiarism—if prompted separately.

Turned on ‘Focus’ in Windows to get some serious work done. Ironically, #Windows decided it had more pressing updates to #focus on.

Can you spot the content here? It's less than 5% of the page.
I get that Google & social media have made survival tough for publishers, but this ad overload?
It's a death spiral: bad UX → lost readers → lower ad revenue → more ads → fewer readers. Unsustainable.
