2025/09/19

Adopting AI inside an organization is rarely smooth. Most people are not natural tinkerers, and it takes more than enthusiasm to change how teams prepare, run, and follow up on meetings.For Aydin Mirzaee, CEO and co-founder of Fellow, the turning point was realizing that AI could take the work only the most organized people were willing to do and make it accessible to everyone. He calls this an AI “chief of staff”, a system that prepares meaningful follow-ups, captures decisions and actions, and

What happens when students are told not to use AI, but also told they’ll need it for their careers?For Aasha Khan, a Grade 12 student at Cameron Heights and founder of Youth Tech Labs, that tension defined her first encounters with AI.

The next generation of builders isn’t just asking what AI can do, but what it should do.For Johns Hopkins student Aleks Santari, the most striking change AI brings is the commoditisation of intelligence. When capabilities once reserved for experts become widely available, it reshapes education, work, and even how people see themselves. Aleks is exploring that reality firsthand through three projects: Flow, a health app that adapts to each person’s context; a snake-like surgical robot for eye surgery

Where do we find value when productivity is no longer scarce?
