There's a builder version of AI Policy and a slide-deck version, and they look different up close.
Short definition. AI Policy: Canadian AI governance, compute sovereignty, and the practical builder perspective.
For AI Policy, the relevant questions are operational. Where does the loop close? What costs more time than money? Where is the audit, and where is the judgment?
How Rami works on AI Policy
AI Policy runs through Rami's work in three layers. First, primary operating experience: He has contributed to CIGI on AI policy and writes from the builder side at Action Potential, including arguments for a Canada Strong Fund and a Sovereign Intelligence Fund. Second, written perspective: a series of essays at Action Potential that take the work apart in public. Third, advisory and mentorship: through Antler, Mila, and Invest Ottawa, Rami works with other operators on the same questions from outside.
Where this shows up in his writing
Good design is judgment applied to context. Polish is not hierarchy. Hierarchy is not aesthetics.
