A parent and guardian. A technologist. Someone who went looking for something that didn't exist — and decided to build it.
IT professional · Dad of two · Builder of things
I work in IT, and I've been working closely with AI for a long time — not as a researcher, but as someone who's watched it move from a fascinating experiment to a genuine part of how professional life works. I've seen it transform workflows, surface insights that would have taken weeks to find, and gradually change what it means to be skilled at a job.
I'm also a dad. My two kids are both at primary school, at an age where the future still feels wonderfully open. Not long ago I found myself trying to explain to my eldest what AI actually is, why everyone seems to be talking about it, and whether they should be worried. The conversation was harder than it should have been — not because AI is complicated, but because everything I could find online was either too technical, too sensationalist, or honestly a bit scary for a child.
I went looking for something honest, warm, and genuinely useful for kids their age. Something that would show them the real opportunities without glossing over the changes. Something a teacher could actually use in a classroom, or a parent or guardian could share on a rainy Saturday morning without needing a computer science degree first. It didn't exist. So I built it.
The Tomorrow Lab isn't a company. There are no investors, no advertising partnerships, no data being quietly collected. It's a side project — built in evenings and at weekends — by a parent who wanted something better for their kids, and figured other families probably felt the same way.
"If this helps one child feel a little less uncertain about their future, it was worth every hour."— The Tomorrow Lab
Everything on The Tomorrow Lab is based on published research, official reports, and data from respected institutions. We don't guess, and we don't exaggerate. Here's exactly where our information comes from.
When we describe what AI can do today and where it's heading, we draw on published research and technical documentation from the organisations building and studying it at the frontier.
Peer-reviewed studies form the backbone of our employment projections and future skills content. The landmark Oxford study by Frey & Osborne on automation and employment (2013) remains the most widely cited research in this area, and we build on the decade of scholarship that followed it.
Official policy research and government reports on AI, the future of work, and skills development — from national and international institutions.
Research specifically focused on teaching AI and digital literacy to young people, and the competency frameworks that inform responsible AI education globally.
Workforce and economic projections from major independent research organisations, whose methodologies are well-established and whose work is widely referenced in policy circles.
We know AI is a topic that makes some people nervous — including parents and guardians, and teachers, who've arrived here with understandable scepticism. That's exactly why we built this site transparently, and why we've made sure every claim is grounded in published evidence.
