decisions.

I make films about AI at work, using everyday examples to make sense of the systems we rely on.

For people making technology decisions at work.

The films and the writing follow the same questions: how AI becomes useful, how knowledge spreads and what people learn along the way.

Essay

Rent the Model, Keep the Notes

“Your correction helped once. The tacit knowledge behind it can continue helping.”

From my essay

In an imagined refund request, Maya catches something the AI missed. I follow what her correction can leave behind: the right agreement, the reason it applies and a test for the next model. Keeping that lesson useful is still someone’s job.

The person behind the questions

Hello,
I’m Satish.

Based in Toronto.

At Siemens, I help teams navigate complex IT environments and improve how services work together. I also build products and explore how AI can be useful in practice.

Running Digitally is where I turn those interests into films. I start with a question, work through the evidence and use everyday examples to make the systems easier to understand.

The questions that stay with me usually come after the demo. How do people check an answer and decide what to trust? If you’re working through an IT or AI question, I’d be glad to compare notes.

Narration is synthetic. Views are Satish's own.

How the films are made

I start with a question I want to understand. I read the sources, choose an everyday example and work through how the system behaves. I make the assumptions and limits visible, with chapters and references so you can check the reasoning.

The film notes include the sources and explain how the narration, illustrations and animation were made.

If Everyone Rents the Same AI, What Does Your Company Own?

An AI drafts a refund refusal. Maya knows the client has a separate agreement. I follow what happens to her correction, and how the company can use it when the model changes.

Inside this film

Maya catches the refund mistake because she knows the client has a special agreement. I follow four questions: what the AI can do, what information applies, how the answer is checked and who answers for it.

A note on the making

Synthetic narration and AI-generated illustrative artwork, with original animation and graphics. Maya and the company are an imagined example.
