The last year of AI has been a perpetual cycle of hype and doom. We heard that AGI was around the corner … and that 95% of AI projects were failures. AI was either about to solve global healthcare challenges (Sam Altman) or moving way too fast (somehow also Sam Altman).
I’ve tried to tune out the hypesters and naysayers, but it’s difficult if you want to follow the AI news - or if you ever go on LinkedIn, since everyone there is now an AI influencer.
In 2026, we could all benefit from a more nuanced, clear-eyed view of AI.
That’s why I’m launching a new project - AI Truth Serum, a weekly newsletter and bi-weekly podcast, focused on getting to the truth of how AI will impact our lives.
Every week, I hope to give you real, refreshing insights into an aspect of AI, from someone who’s trying to figure this all out (just like you). I’ll touch on:
How AI will impact our jobs, organizations, and livelihoods
Where the money is going to be made - and who will lose out
How we protect our brains when outsourcing to AI is so delicious
What this means for our kids (something I think about every day)
I hope you’ll join me, either to read the newsletter or listen to the podcast. If you have ideas for posts, I’m always interested.
See you soon,
Greg Shove
