I write, teach and build agentic AI that acts only within the authority it has earned.

I wrote three books on agentic AI, I teach five graduate courses at McGill University, and I build these systems for a living at OODARIS AI, the agentic operating system for retail decisions. Before that, I led Data & AI at ALDO Group.

Foundations of Agentic AI

Two books on the same question: when may software act on its own, and what must it show first? Foundations of Agentic AI Systems answers it in two volumes, from first principles to production. Foundations of Agentic AI for Retail, now in its third edition, answers it for retail.

Autonomy should rise only as evidence rises.

Building OODARIS AI, the agentic operating system for retail decisions

It watches the business overnight, explains what moved, proposes the fix, and writes the approved action back into your systems. It runs in production at ALDO Group, across four brands. The books describe how a system like it should earn its authority; OODARIS is where that gets built.
