As a technologist, I experiment for a living. I consider it my job to break things in order to make new ones — daily.
In 2020, it wasn’t the tech that was broken, it was me, and I leaned into artificial intelligence (AI) for the fix. I built a crude AI system that aggregated my Fitbit data and healthcare records with my financial information, email, and more. My “databox” started to tell me when to exercise, when to drink less, and when to slow down on spending. I started to feel better. I also started to grasp how powerful having my data in one place could be when, unbeknownst to me, the app had a conversation with my then girlfriend.
