Getting AI across
the last ten per cent
Prototypes are easy now. Putting AI into work that gets published, procured and held to account is not. I help government agencies, cultural institutions and creative studios assess the risk, prove where their content came from, and ship AI work they can stand behind.

Why now
The rules for AI-generated content arrived this year
Europe
EU AI Act, Article 50
Transparency obligations for AI-generated and manipulated content apply from August 2026. If your work reaches European audiences, synthetic images, audio, video and text need to be disclosed — and marked in a machine-readable way.
Australia
Commonwealth AI policy
Australian Government agencies now face mandatory requirements — AI impact assessments, staff training and Chief AI Officers — with full compliance due by December 2026. State agencies and their suppliers are following.
Everywhere
Content Credentials go mainstream
C2PA provenance is now signed by phones and cameras, written by Adobe's tools and major image models, and coming to Chrome and Google Search. Your audience will increasingly be able to see how your content was made.
A summary, not legal advice. Check current guidance for your own obligations.

One graph of everything I've discussed
I asked for one graph of the conversations spread across my tools. Merging them was the useful part. Seeing what they had remembered was the uncomfortable part.

A generative-media product, taken from a demo to payments, a render pipeline and real people. The last ten per cent took as long as the rest. Customers were harder still.

About fifteen minutes with Jamal and Samantha. All-In and Moonshots are credited in the notes, and their audio is not played. For government agencies, cultural institutions, broadcasters and studios.
Listen →Background
I've spent twenty years delivering in environments where things have to work: digital services for government used by millions, and large-scale experiential production where there's no second take. Government, enterprise and the creative industries.
I also build. Demon Monster — a generative-media product that renders personalised video on demand and takes payments through Stripe — taught me more about where AI work actually breaks than any strategy deck. The demo is never the hard part. The last ten per cent is.
That's the work I do now: helping organisations that publish get AI across that line — assessed, provenanced, governed and shipped. Practically, not theoretically.
Based in Sydney. Delivered remotely, or on-site when it matters.
