Hello Reader,

“We are the AI Generation.” - Doreen Bogdan-Martin Hello Reader, Last week I published a scathing teardown of the 22-page AI Strategy published by the New Zealand government. (Read that teardown here.) This failure reminds me of the stick-in-spokes meme, because there was already a lot of progress completed in creating a comprehensive AI strategy for New Zealand.
