Dr. Andrew Forde

Writing

I write about what happens to judgment when we hand it to machines, who owns the intelligence we rent, and what the people selling this technology owe the people who will live with it.

Renting intelligence is a dangerous way to run a country

Renting intelligence is revocable intelligence.

Lines

The future is not weather. It is made.
Renting intelligence is revocable intelligence.
A meter is also a switch.
Capability is a multiplier, not a motive.
Nobody hires a consultant because things are simple.
Inspect the system you have. Check the data you fed it. Sign off on what’s right.
Sometimes magic is just someone spending more time on something than anyone else might reasonably expect.
