A book by Dale Martin
A book about building Trusted AI — at work and at your own kitchen table — before the threats you can't see make the decisions you can't undo.
Launches June 23, 2026
Everyone knows about the bears — the big, visible AI disasters that make the news. At work, somebody's whole job is watching for them. At home, you figure whoever built the tool has it covered.
But while everybody watched for bears, the mosquitoes moved in. The agent that drafts your contracts, reconciles the ledger, runs the family calendar — acting on its own, under your name, with nobody checking its work. Small, quiet, everywhere — and most people don't feel the bites yet.
Meanwhile the work itself changed. The day you asked an AI to draft, reconcile, or build for you, you became a builder. So did everyone you work with.
Bears & Mosquitoes is the field guide for everyone who just became a builder — and wants to build AI they can actually trust.
Building Trusted AI from the Inside Out
A field guide in the old sense — the kind you keep within reach because it names the things around you. Written in plain language for the person who just became a builder, not for engineers.
Peer-reviewed by a circle of honest readers. In final production now.
Written for all of us. And if you know a college grad stepping into this economy, it’s for them too.
