THE PERSON BEHIND THE PERSPECTIVE
Technology leadership. Research. Writing.
A shared interest in what people can become.
AI & DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
Don Sanjeewa Alwis, also known professionally as Sanjeewa Alwis, works across artificial intelligence, digital transformation, research and writing.
He leads Decryptogen and is the author of the forthcoming book I Don’t Remember Choosing This. His central interest is the relationship between technological progress and human possibility: how people can prepare for change, recognise its risks and retain meaningful choices about their work and lives.
For Sanjeewa, the conversation about AI includes whether people understand its limits, whether organisations remain accountable for its use and whether opportunity becomes more widely available.
