Our AI is a human story about artificial intelligence, offering a seat at the table for anyone curious, cautious, or already in deep.
I didn't see that at first. When I fell in love with AI, I thought I'd simply found the perfect writing partner. Like millions of others, I jumped in without really understanding what I was getting into, using it daily, depending on it, unable to explain what it actually was.
Maybe your story is similar. Maybe you're still deciding whether to jump in at all. Either way, I have a feeling we all share the same mix of possibility and... something else.
That uneasy feeling led to a startling realisation: AI has agency. It acts, decides, shapes outcomes. Which made me ask, did I still have any? Or had I handed mine over without even noticing?
As a community engagement specialist, I'd spent my career helping people reclaim power in systems designed without them. The irony wasn't lost on me. Meanwhile, headlines were getting harder to ignore, everyone saying "get on board or get left behind," but no one explaining what we were actually boarding or what we might be giving up.
So, I set out on a journey to understand what I was seeing. That journey took me from microplastics to algorithms, from falling in love with AI to recognising familiar patterns of burden-shifting and power imbalances. If you're trying to make sense of what's happening without the tech jargon, this book is for you.
Our AI: My Journey, Your Invitation, Our Future is a wake-up call disguised as a love story, a guide for spotting the patterns, asking better questions, and finding your voice in conversations that are shaping our future, with or without us.
AI is here whether we like it or not. The question is: on whose terms?

Felicity Hill
I'm an Australian community development worker who has spent my career helping people find their voice in decisions that affect their lives. I've seen how systems can either empower communities or leave them carrying burdens they never signed up for. When AI began reshaping everyday life, I recognised familiar patterns, promises followed by communities navigating consequences alone. Our AI combines my professional insight with personal exploration in a warm, conversational style.
This book blends research, lived experience, and reflection. It’s based on real conversations, events, and public information available at the time of writing. It’s not technical. It’s human.
And it’s told in my own voice, because I believe this is our AI moment and it belongs to all of us.
Reviews make a huge difference for independent Australian authors like me. If you have a moment, I’d truly appreciate you leaving a review; it helps other readers discover my work and keeps these stories reaching the people they’re meant for.
Our AI is part memoir, part investigation, my journey from AI enthusiast to informed sceptic, unpacking headlines and discovering patterns that might sound familiar once you see them.
This isn't a how-to guide. It's an invitation to see the patterns, make your own connections, and decide where you stand in the conversation shaping what comes next.
