AI in 2025: Between Promise, Power, and the People

Sydney Armani, May 7, 2025March 9, 2026

In 2025, we don’t just witness the world—we scroll past it. A child cries on camera. A protest erupts. A mother begs for help to save her son’s life. And we? We double-tap, comment “sending love,” maybe even share. But all too often, we keep scrolling. This is the Bystander Effect 2.0: amplified, algorithmically optimized, and emotionally numbed.

AI Companions: The Rise of Emotional Intelligence in Artificial Agents

Homi Makoui, May 5, 2025March 9, 2026

In the age of artificial intelligence, we’ve grown used to a certain kind of machine intelligence—one that calculates faster than any human, predicts outcomes based on oceans of data, and automates everything from scheduling to driving. It’s impressive, efficient, and incredibly useful. But something remarkable is happening in 2025 that feels different. AI is now stepping into a domain we once thought was uniquely human: emotion. the most profound transformation may not be in how AI understands us—but in how it helps us understand ourselves.

AI and Serendipity: When Machines Help Us Discover the Unexpected

Homi Makoui, May 5, 2025March 9, 2026

The Paradox of Predictability

The core mission of AI is to reduce uncertainty. It’s a tool of control, built to forecast weather, detect disease, or recommend your next binge-worthy series. At its best, AI is an engine of efficiency. At its worst, it’s a filter bubble—predicting what we’ll like based on what we’ve already liked, narrowing our worldview.

Serendipity, by contrast, rewards openness, novelty, and even error. Some of humanity’s greatest breakthroughs were unplanned: penicillin, microwave ovens, Post-it Notes, even Velcro.

What’s Fascinating You About AI? Tell Us in Our Quick Survey

Artificial Intelligence is no longer a far-off dream — it’s now woven into the fabric of everyday life. Whether you’re generating art with Midjourney, chatting with ChatGPT, or automating tasks in Notion, AI is transforming how we live, work, and create. There’s no shortage of headlines about AI — from chatbots writing novels to robots performing surgery. But too often, the human side of AI gets overlooked. We’re not just interested in algorithms or buzzwords. AI — not as something that happens to us, but something we actively shape.

Consumer Use of AI Data: Trends, Risks, and Responsibilities

Sydney Armani, April 15, 2025March 9, 2026

In today’s hyper-connected world, data is no longer just a byproduct of our digital routines—it’s a powerful currency shaping every facet of our lives. Every time we scroll through a personalized newsfeed, receive a product suggestion that feels oddly intuitive, or track our sleep and steps on a smartwatch, we’re engaging with systems fueled by our own data. It’s easy to forget how much of ourselves we’re sharing in the process—our habits, preferences, health, even emotions. Data may be the new oil—but unlike oil, it’s renewable, deeply personal, and powerful. Let’s use it wisely.

Synthetic Wisdom vs. Authentic Inquiry: Comparing AI and the Great Philosophers

Sydney Armani, March 31, 2025March 9, 2026

The emergence of advanced artificial intelligence has posited fundamental queries about the nature of wisdom, knowledge and understanding. As such, we should examine the relationship between the wisdom presented by great philosophical traditions (exemplified by thinkers like Socrates, Hume, Nietzsche, Rousseau, Descartes, Marx and others) and the cognitive capabilities of modern AI systems. In comparing these distinct approaches to knowledge generation, we can better understand both the limitations and possibilities of AI in philosophical domains, as well as gain fresh appreciation
