AI foresight essays

AI Visionary & Foresight Author — 2010–2015

Over a decade ago, Gregory began publishing tech-foresight essays — including “The Proactive Web Era” (2011), which predicted the rise of intelligent, context-aware services. Written in a science-fiction style, they anticipated the societal and technological impact of AI with uncanny precision — and nearly all have since materialized within the forecast timelines.
