The world as we know it is changing
How we work is being rewritten in real time. And the people using AI for research, infrastructure, design, marketing and automation are steaming ahead. But for once, that advantage isn’t reserved for big companies or tech bros.
Solopreneurs, small businesses and communities traditionally left outside the room now have access to tools that can give them more power, reach and visibility. The opportunity here is huge. Yet most are still standing on the sidelines, unsure where to begin, or whether they even want to. Yes, there are real ethical issues: around bias, ownership, jobs, energy use and who ultimately benefits. we don’t pretend to have every answer, but we believe understanding the technology is part of using it more responsibly.
The future isn’t a choice between human and machine. It’s about what becomes possible when they meet.
AI XOXO is a cultural learning hub by Saira Jamieson. It started as a simple blog for friends - translating the chaos of AI into practical, entertaining knowledge - grew into something much bigger.
Today, it’s for creators, founders, artists, cultural organisations and non-tech humans who are curious about AI and what to use it to leverage themselves and their work.
Through workshops, talks, events and the newsletter, we help you understand what’s actually happening, why it matters, and enough to hold your own with a client, on a panel, over dinner… or with your Uber driver and their opinions on AI about to take their job.
We do it with open eyes. We don’t ignore the impact AI is having on people or the planet. We explore the uncomfortable bits too; what responsible AI can actually look like and how we can use tools with safeguards while the rules are still being written in real time.
