AI Chronicles: The Book

The Premise

AI Chronicles is an inquiry into the symbiotic evolution of machine intelligence and human creative agency. Far from a technical manual, this volume serves as a cultural autopsy of the transition from traditional cognitive labor to the era of algorithmic co-creation.

The project documents two years of longitudinal research, ethnographic interviews with latent space pioneers, and a series of experimental workflows that redefine what it means to "author" a thought in the twenty-first century.

"The machine does not replace the architect; it forces the architect to confront the nature of the foundation itself."

Core Theses

  • 01 / Cognitive Offloading

    The Erosion of the First Draft

    How the disappearance of the "blank page" through generative seeding alters the neurobiology of creative problem-solving.

  • 02 / Latent Ethics

    The Ghost in the Dataset

    Investigating the invisible labor and cultural biases baked into the foundational weights of contemporary LLMs.

  • 03 / Future Craft

    The Curator as Creator

    Redefining high-end craftsmanship in an age where technical execution is commoditized and taste becomes the primary currency.

Selected Excerpt
"We often mistake speed for fluency. The prompt is not a command; it is a negotiation with a million dead voices held in digital amber. When we ask the machine to 'be creative,' we are asking it to find the average of human brilliance, which is, by definition, mediocre. The true chronicle begins when we step outside that average."

Mikael Alemu Gorsky

Mikael Alemu is an educator and researcher, and the author of two programs: Agentic Software Engineering, on building software with AI agents, and Building AI-Native Agentic Systems, on building software that thinks.

He teaches at the Holon Institute of Technology, near Tel Aviv, where Agentic Software Engineering runs as a credit-bearing course. He is an educator and researcher.

Nine published works, 76 citations. A 350-page textbook under contract with a major academic publisher.

Teaching and programs

Agentic Software Engineering — program, preprint and textbook

The discipline of structured, auditable human-agent workflows for building software. The human frames, specifies and judges. The agent executes. Nineteen modules in four parts, built on a running project called Tribunal, a web application in which agents argue opposing sides of a case and a judge agent decides. Taught for credit at the Holon Institute of Technology.

Agentic Software Engineering curriculum

Building AI-Native Agentic Systems — program, paper and book in writing

How to build systems that hold a language model as a working component, and treat that component as what it is: stochastic, slow and metered. Fourteen modules in four parts, about seventy hours. The running project is the Observatory, a news agency that watches sources, selects what matters and publishes on a cadence.

Research and analytics

Publications — journals and proceedings

Nine works, 76 citations. Research on artificial intelligence in education, with Ilya Levin and Alexei Semenov.

Pro bono

AI for seniors — free workshop

Helping older adults use everyday AI tools. Delivered to Russian-speaking communities in Israel.

For older adults, artificial intelligence is about preserving quality of life, maintaining autonomy, and sustaining the feeling of independence that defines dignified aging. For seniors who have emigrated, AI becomes a bridge: it can translate documents, explain official letters, help compose emails in the local language, and guide users through government websites. The workshop has been delivered to Russian-speaking communities in Israel, where participants — many of them in their 70s and 80s — discovered that AI could help them read Hebrew documents and communicate with Israeli institutions.

Startup competitions — unpaid time

Judging and mentoring early-stage ventures. Helping teams clarify their value proposition, assess technical feasibility, and prepare for the realities of scaling an AI product.

AC/VC LinkedIn group — community

A group for developers and students working with coding agents. The community shares practical insights, code examples, tool comparisons, and honest assessments of what works in production.
