Narrative intelligence and The future of human agency

Exploring and reclaiming what’s human through a reimagination of communication, narrative, and story in the age of AI.

ME.

For over fifteen years, I have worked with communities affected by conflict, displacement, and social change to understand how communication and stories shape health, safety, identity, resilience, and social cohesion.

Today, my work explores a new frontier: how artificial intelligence is transforming the narratives through which people understand themselves, one another, and the future—and what it will take to preserve human connectedness, human agency, and safety in an age of weaponized narratives, fractured communities, and intelligent machines.

this.

Who shapes the stories that shape us?

Stories are more than communication.

They organize memory.

They influence identity.

They determine belonging.

They shape institutions.

And increasingly, they are generated, mediated, and amplified by artificial intelligence.

How do we ensure that AI strengthens rather than diminishes our capacity for human agency, dignity, and democratic participation?

Technology is changing faster than our institutions can adapt.

Yet the central question remains profoundly human.

How do we create societies where people retain the freedom to think, imagine, belong, and shape their own futures?

This website invites you to explore that question together.
