About Tom

Consultant, founder and researcher working at the intersection of technology, law, and public policy.

Through my think tank, Brainbox Institute, and software company, Syncopate Lab, I advise governments, companies, and civil society on challenges in digital governance.

My work focuses on AI regulation, platform transparency, and building better digital regulatory systems.

Much of this work is produced with collaborators I admire, whose contributions I like to acknowledge throughout the site.
