Alessio Tartaro

Tech-savvy philosopher and consultant

Some things about me:

• Grew up in Alcamo, Sicily.
• Studied at Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa because I liked philosophy and got a full-ride scholarship.
• Tinkerer and compulsive learner, always picking up new fields on the way to becoming a type-3 polymath.
• Teaching AI & decision-making at UCSC and advising on Responsible AI at Accenture.
• Lived in Hungary, Spain, Germany, and the Netherlands. Now in Milan.
• Currently experimenting with AI to automate the boring parts of work and life to spend more time with the people I love.

Some things I believe:

• It's important to do things fast.
  • Speed increases your surface area with reality.
  • Going fast forces you to focus on what actually matters.
• Enthusiasm is a force multiplier.
  • It's much easier to do hard things when you are genuinely curious about them.
  • Energy is a necessary input for progress.
• Small teams build better things.
  • Faster decisions, fewer meetings, higher ownership.
  • High trust beats heavy process.
• You can do more than you think.
  • Most constraints are just unexamined defaults.
