About AIfacts
Welcome! I’m Ian, the person behind AIfacts.co.uk — this site is my passion project dedicated to one thing: telling you the weird, wonderful, and often surprising truths about artificial intelligence.
I have over 20 years experience working in Higher Education as a Technical Lead gaining Masters level qualification and Fellowship of the HEA. Curious about technology but passionate about education and journalism.
Here’s what I believe: AI isn’t just for experts. It’s not just lines of code or sci-fi movies. It’s happening all around us — changing work, creativity, privacy, ethics, what we feel safe sharing, and even what it means to be human. My mission? To bring those changes into sharp focus — in a way you can understand, question, and maybe even argue about.
You won’t find jargon-heavy lectures here. Instead, every post is built to provoke curiosity: clear, relatable, with enough depth to make you think.
Too many people accept “AI will do X” without asking why, how, or who decides. I try to expose what’s behind the headlines, the trade-offs, and the futures no one’s comfortable admitting.
AI advances fast. What’s shocking today may be commonplace tomorrow. So I’m always watching, learning, and sharing. You’ll get updates, weird trends, ethical dilemmas, and the tech people are whispering about before it becomes mainstream.
Who This Is For
– You see the headlines about AI and wonder what really matters.
– You want to understand AI in your everyday life — how it touches work, art, safety, privacy, culture.
– You like being surprised by what people aren’t talking about.
– You believe thinking critically (and sometimes uncomfortably) is how we stay in control of our tech future.
What to Expect
– Regular posts that pull back the curtain on AI trends and controversies.
– Deep dives into ideas most people assume are settled — ethics, unintended consequences, bias, power.
– Examples, stories, and explorations — from the brilliant to the bizarre.
