About

The story behind The AI Moment

The AI Moment is a curated online resource tracking artificial intelligence developments and their impact on society and the economy.

Our Mission

We aim to make AI developments accessible and understandable to a wide audience — connecting research, journalism, and analysis in one place. We link to original sources and curate AI-generated podcast discussions from Google NotebookLM to help readers engage with complex topics in multiple formats.

What We Cover

  • Whiteboard Theory — summaries of the latest skirmishes in AI research, industry, and regulation
  • The Bottom Line — analysis of how silicon is reshaping labour markets and business models
  • The Social Ledger — reporting on the algorithmic impact on schools, culture and society at large
  • Applied Intelligence — a pragmatic guide to putting AI to work, from DIY software development to the subtle art of the prompt
  • Synthetic Talk — AI-generated podcasts via Google NotebookLM, deep dives on key AI topics
  • The Big Picture — curated videos and interviews for a clearer view of the landscape

How This Site Works

This site is built with Jekyll and hosted on GitHub Pages. Posts are written in Markdown and can embed:

  • Podcasts from Google NotebookLM — AI-generated audio discussions synthesised from source materials
  • Videos from YouTube, Vimeo, and NotebookLM
