THE MORNING DESK

There’s a lot happening. Let’s keep up together.

We started The AI Watch because keeping up with AI can feel like a full-time job. We bring together headlines from selected publishers around the world so you can explore what’s changing, spot emerging trends, and make more informed choices.

Our aim is practical: help you find opportunities, recognize risks, and ask better questions before something goes wrong. Every headline leads back to the people who reported it.

A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER

A communityworth showing up for.

I’m building The AI Watch for people who want to understand what AI means in everyday life—and talk about it with other people. Come with questions, share what you’re learning, and help us look beyond the headlines.

The headline feed stays free. Our planned membership starts with a $4.99 one-time signup. There is no recurring charge for basic membership. Donations are optional, and a personal blog will be available through a separate contributor subscription.

OPEN PRESS · AN INVITATION

Get out there. Bring something back.

We want to hear from independent journalists, photographers, researchers, and people learning to report. Talk to people. Take photographs. Interview someone using AI at work. Find out what is changing in your own community.

We’re interested in firsthand reporting with named sources, dates, context, and a clear account of what you actually observed. AI-generated text alone is not field reporting. A paid blog space does not confer reporter credentials or editorial approval.

A contributor application and submission process is planned. It is not open yet.

Member blogs will carry their authors’ names and be labeled as community contributions. They remain separate from publisher headlines and The AI Watch’s own edited reporting.

Reader support helps fund the work. It does not buy favorable coverage, source rankings, or placement in the headline feed. Any future sponsored open-press activity will be clearly disclosed.
