July 3, 2026 Trust in hardware has been a long-time pursuit of mine dating back to the early 2000s when NSA was rolling out the HAIPE program, the Trusted Computing program, which leveraged the standards of the Trusted Computing Group, and the NSA Commercial Solutions for Classified program. It was during that time, when I […]
June 12, 2026 I believe we are on the advent of a profound job revolution as the impact from AI begins to take shape. As I think about the growing list of problems attributed in some way to AI, I am reminded of Player Piano. According to Wikipedia, Player Piano is the first novel by American writer Kurt […]
May 22, 2026 I was talking recently with my son who works in an AI lab designing and building assembly lines for automated AI factories and the discussion reminded me of how I was involved in an effort with NIST 20+ years ago to get some standards support started for the fledgling NIST RMF with […]
4/13/2026 As I was writing this article, I was reminded of my teen years when I read Isaac Asimov’s Foundation Trilogy and became fascinated by the theory of psychohistory – a fictional science developed by fictional mathematician Hari Seldon that was a prominent backdrop to the story. It combines mathematics, sociology, and statistics to predict […]

But in a world shaped by algorithmic feeds, synthetic media, and microtargeted narratives, passivity is a liability. Disinformation is no longer incidental; it is engineered. What if, instead, your belief system had an active counterpart—a dynamic, AI-powered digital […]
March 17, 2026 The first part of this two-part article described a verification crisis driven by the rapid acceleration of AI‑generated disinformation. By 2026, disinformation campaigns have evolved from human‑crafted narratives into automated, multimodal, and coordinated AI systems capable of manipulating public opinion, destabilizing institutions, and contaminating AI training pipelines – effectively eroding trust in […]

By 2026, disinformation campaigns have evolved from human‑crafted narratives into automated, multimodal, and coordinated AI systems capable of manipulating public opinion, destabilizing institutions, and contaminating AI training pipelines – effectively eroding trust in digital content.

February 24, 2026 AI has been the most dominant technology theme for several years now. It seems to get even more attention recently as the race to AI dominance heats up and more collateral damage is left in its wake. I believe there are more folks like me who are on the fence regarding the […]
