About · Co-founder and host
Karim Galzahr
An investor and economist who reads the money and the mechanism together: what capital flows reveal, and what the numbers support.
Karim Galzahr is a co-founder and host of The Aiomic Age.
He is an investor with a background in economics and a working command of physics and statistics. He applies it the same way in both worlds: by checking whether the mechanism proposed can produce the numbers claimed. Following the money and the mechanism at the same time is the discipline he brings to the publication's reading of where value, work and investment are moving.
His conviction, and the publication's, is that this era's outcomes are not fixed. The same technology lands differently depending on the conditions and the choices of the society it lands in.

The Prince
An adviser who deals only in numbers takes on a leader who deals only in attention, and offers to make her the first great political movement of the AI age. Ten conversations, five years, and a distance from revolution that keeps closing.
The Second Look ·
The human body is the wrong benchmark for machines
A humanoid robot ran 100 metres in 9.32 seconds in Beijing on Saturday. The number worth reading was ten centimetres: the length its builders added to its legs over the summer. We keep measuring machines against ourselves, and the measurement hides what they can already do that we cannot.

A chronicle of the revolution in real time
An introduction: what the weekly covers, the discipline it follows, and why we think this era still has authors.
