// Senior Technology Journalist

James Okubo is a graduate of Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism who has spent over a decade reporting on Silicon Valley, technology policy, and the societal impacts of emerging technology. He has published investigative and feature work across major technology publications, with a particular focus on artificial intelligence ethics, algorithmic accountability, and the regulatory landscape shaping AI development.

He believes rigorous journalism about AI is one of the most important public services available in 2026.
