The best way to reach me is email. I read every serious enquiry, and I am particularly interested in research and writing projects on AI, autonomy, and the industries where software failure can cause physical harm. [adam.mackay@bath.edu](mailto:adam.mackay@bath.edu) --- ## What I'm Available For **Commissioned research** — original research and written analysis on AI, autonomy, and assurance, for organisations that need a question answered properly rather than a summary of what is already public. **Embedded research and writing** — longer engagements alongside your researchers or leadership team, producing reports, briefing papers, or published pieces under an agreed byline. **Strategic briefings** — closed sessions for boards and leadership on AI adoption, assurance, governance, and measurement in regulated or safety-critical environments. **Collaborative nonfiction** — book and long-form projects on AI and autonomy, whether as writer, co-author, or research partner. Alongside my role at QA-Systems, I take on a small number of independent research and writing projects, with scope and timing agreed individually. **Speaking** — keynotes, expert panels, workshop facilitation. See [Speaking & Media](/speaking) for topics and formats. **Media & press** — interviews, expert comment, background briefings on AI, autonomous systems, safety-critical technology. **Research questions** — I'm happy to connect with researchers working on questions that intersect with my areas of focus. --- ## Find Me Online - **LinkedIn** — [linkedin.com/in/adammackay](https://linkedin.com/in/adammackay), for professional updates and longer-form thinking - **X / Twitter** — [@azmackay](https://x.com/azmackay), for shorter takes and commentary - **Bluesky** — [@azmackay.bsky.social](https://bsky.app/profile/azmackay.bsky.social) - **Substack** — [The AI Monitor](https://theaimonitor.substack.com), the newsletter --- ## Response Times I aim to respond to all enquiries within **48 hours**. For time-sensitive requests (media deadlines, event confirmations), please note the deadline in your subject line. Please email a brief outline of the project, the question you're exploring, and any relevant timing. Email is the best starting point; we can arrange a conversation once we've established a likely fit.
