Editorial judgment
Using AI to surface context, compare source material, and prepare more deeply, while the calls stay human.

Liam “Akiba” Wright
Editor-in-Chief at CryptoSlate.
Builder of local-first AI systems.
I lead editorial at CryptoSlate, covering Bitcoin, digital assets, market structure, regulation, and the AI systems changing how people research, verify, and make decisions.
Outside the newsroom, I build private tools for memory, automation, research, and operating inside messy real-world workflows.
Editorial
Crypto reporting, analysis, and newsroom judgment.
My work sits at the intersection of crypto markets, policy, decentralized infrastructure, and emerging AI.
Whatever the tools, every story still moves through the same steps.
From signal to story
AI can speed up the research. The judgment stays with the editor.
- 01 Signal
- 02 Source capture
- 03 Provenance check
- 04 Contradictions
- 05 Editorial judgment
- 06 Publish
A signal appears across markets, policy, filings, on-chain data, or public claims.
