Hi, I'm Fred.

I think AI is the most important technology of my lifetime so far, and I enjoy putting it to work inside companies. But I have loved nature my entire life, and I don't feel a real pull toward any work unless it serves something I care about that much.

The resources we depend on are finite. Water, soil, fisheries and forests come back only as fast as natural processes allow. As AI and the rest of our technology grow, so does the demand on them. I want to build around that limit.

Most talk about AI is about automating knowledge work. I am more interested in using it to look after the natural world, and to understand what these systems can provide and how to help them provide more. We already collect a huge amount of data about the Earth, and most of it sits unused.

Companies pollute far more than individual consumers do, so that is where I want to work. I want to research where a proven environmental technology could work for a specific site, and show the evidence for it, at a depth that used to take weeks of paid discovery.
