"Imbued in our philosophy is that no one institution alone has all of the answers and that we need to widen the problem-solving table to include more voices, experiences, grit, and passion. That approach is the fundamental underpinning of our mission." - Hala Hanna in Larry Weber's book "A New Age of Reason," all about harnessing the power of tech for good.

Answered questions from The Educator about Frankenstories’ MIT Solve win, and how human-centred learning can make good use of AI.
"Don’t get me wrong: I love the new GenAI models and use them all the time. But from an educational point of view, we need students to value their own thoughts, value the act of thinking, creating, & exploring, and want to get better at modelling the world through language so that they will be proficient and reflective users of whatever these new tools turn out to be." Writelike's own Andrew Duval spoke to The Educator about #Frankenstories, #GenAI in schools and what makes our tools unique for the classroom.

Honored and excited to be joining the Dubai Future Forum next week, and speaking during a session on how investors can think like futurists (and vice versa). How we think about, talk about, and dream about the future are critical to what futures we work towards and end up building, and I'm excited to bring examples and lessons from our work supporting proximate innovators at MIT Solve (plus a lifetime of reading near-term speculative fiction) to the conversation with Judith Aidoo-Saltus, Sacha Haider, and Eric Noël.
