A.I.N.S.T.E.I.N. : Playbooks for AI Governance
Every company's guide to building responsible, compliant, and defensible AI in healthcare, finance, edtech, insurance, and beyond.
After completing cancer treatment in 2023, I thought the storm had finally passed. But one challenge lingered. Severe neuropathy made it difficult to do the one thing I've always loved: writing. Still, I knew that only by starting again could I get better.
With that determination, I launched A.I.N.S.T.E.I.N. in January 2024 — a newsletter born from my journey from chalk-and-board science teaching to data science and AI. It was about curiosity, exploration, and the promise of human + machine collaboration.
Today, that vision takes a sharper form. The world no longer needs abstract musings on AI. What leaders need are playbooks — clear, evidence-backed, regulation-aware frameworks they can put into practice.
That's why I'm relaunching A.I.N.S.T.E.I.N. as:

Why this, why now
The AI governance landscape is shifting rapidly. New regulations are emerging, compliance requirements are tightening, and the stakes have never been higher. Leaders need practical guidance, not theoretical frameworks.
If you've followed my work, you know I believe deeply in this:
AI without governance is risk. AI with governance is transformation.
This isn't hype. This is the manual leaders will keep on their desk when they move from pilot → production.
