Cover of Old Guyz AI: True Stories of Robots Screwing Up (So You Don't Have To), by Brad Heath

THE BOOK

True stories of robots screwing up.

And the checks that keep you from following them.

Brad Heath’s manuscript brings together documented incidents, plain-language explanations, and short exercises. It moves from confident wrong answers to fabricated evidence, manipulation, privacy and deepfakes.

Manuscript in author review. Publication date to come.

About the book

BUILT IN-HOUSE

An engineer behind the lessons.

Brad Heath develops the software behind Old Guyz AI, including pkachu and Miser. The proposed consumer workspace grows from that hands-on engineering and from his decades of building products and leading Virtex.

AI can help you move faster. It still needs someone willing to stop and check.
