How Aurix is Connecting the World Through AI
One year ago, Aurix began as a simple idea: to distill complex concepts into accessible one-page briefs. Today, we've evolved into a vibrant platform publishing weekly articles that explore the multifaceted world of artificial intelligence. Over the past five months, our Aurora Insights series has amplified voices from Brazil to the UK, India to the US, and beyond. As we celebrate this milestone, we reflect on the journey, the stories we've shared, and the global community that has grown with us.
/From Briefs to In-Depth Insights
Our initial one-page briefs laid the foundation for what Aurix would become—a hub for thoughtful, concise, and impactful discussions on AI. Recognizing the appetite for deeper exploration, we launched Aurora Insights, a weekly publication that delves into the nuances of AI's impact across various sectors and societies.
/A Global Constellation
Over the past year, we've published weekly articles that reflect the diverse ways AI intersects with culture, economy, and daily life across the globe.
